# logs, some of which we already have loaded, and now we need to get the next page:
#
# ........
# 2025-03-10T11:49:44.123456+00:00 myhost myapp[123]: NEXT PAGE message
# 2025-03-10T11:49:44.838785+00:00 myhost myapp[123]: NEXT PAGE message
# 2025-03-10T11:49:44.838785+00:00 myhost myapp[123]: LOADED message
# 2025-03-10T11:49:44.838785+00:00 myhost myapp[123]: LOADED message

# 2025-03-10T11:49:45.002143+00:00 myhost myapp[123]: LOADED message
#
# So we already have two messages at the "2025-03-10T11:49:44.838785"
# timestamp, and the next page should start from the remaining one message
# on the same timestamp.
#
# So first, even though we technically can pass the --until '2025-03-10 11:49:44.838785
# argument to journalctl, which takes it without errors, it doesn't work
# reliably: apparently the time indexing journalctl is doing does not have
# microsecond precision, and it will actually stop EARLIER than the given
# timestamp, missing arbitrary number of messages.
#
# To make sure that we do get all the messages we need, we have to request
# a bit more, and round the --until timestamp to the next whole second:
# '2025-03-10 11:49:45'. This is precisely what needs to be passed as the
# --timestamp-until-seconds flag.
#
# And having that, we also need to know how many latest messages to filter
# out, because we already have them. There are a few ways of doing it, but
# currently implemented as follows:
#
# 1) --timestamp-until-precise is the exact timestamp of the very latest
# message we have, formatted the way journalctl formats it, i.e.
# '2025-03-10T11:49:44.838785'
# 2) --skip-n-latest is how many messages we already have on this timestamp,
# i.e. '2' in this case.
#
# Having that, the agent script knows everything it needs to know, and the
# logic is as follows (btw don't forget that we call journalctl with the
# --reverse, so we first get the latest messages, which we need to skip):
#
# - Check if the current timestamp from journalctl string is
# lexicographically larger than the given --timestamp-until-precise. If
# so, just skip it: we're only receiving this line because our
# --timestamp-until-seconds was rounded up to the whole second
# - Check if the current timestamp from journalctl string is exactly the
# same as the given --timestamp-until-precise. If so, skip up to the
# --skip-n-latest of such messages.
# - Otherwise, we're good to include this message in the output.
#
# Now, why the journalctl built-in pagination mechanism (the --cursor and
# related flags) doesn't work. Two primary reasons:
#
# - Journalctl only allows us to see the cursor of the *latest* message in
# the output;
# - We apply our filters, and limit number of lines, *after* journalctl,
# using the awk script.
#
# So, there's no reliable way to say "print the latest N messages maching
# this awk pattern, and show me the cursor of the first one, so that I can
# later get next page".
#
# If there was a way to show the cursor for every single line that
# journalctl outputs, then it might be possible, but then it would likely
# make things even slower.
#
# So for now, we just have to hack around with the timestamps. Ugly, but
# works, and covered with tests.
