+  * --url is the http or https URL where you will push your gelf formated logs. This is mandatory
+  * --compress or --no-compress : will turn on or off gzip compression of logs. Default is on, but can be usefull to disable for debugging
+  * --username and --password may be used if URL is protected with a basic auth mecanism. Either both or none must be provided
+  * --state can be used to specify where to record the last correctly sent message, so we can start from here when
+    systemd-journal-gelf is restarted or if there's a network problem. Default value is /var/lib/systemd-journal-gelf/state
