Hi, sorry for delay in reply.. Journal carries messages from the initramfs. We cannot send them from the initramfs, unless we bring up the network then, which we don't want to do just for this purpose. But those messages are stored in /run/log, and then flushed to /var/log, and the uploader

Hi, upload sounds a bit of a batch process, but thats just cosmetic wording. Having this in systems-journald and extend the forward to syslog config with the target host was our expectation anyway. The difference is in how the logs are accessed: if journald itself does the jobs, they
