Hi Rhy, There is no truth to the rumor that systemd doesn't produce human-readable log files. In a recent discussion on debian-devel, we identified a bug in the current syslog-ng package in jessie that causes syslog-ng to not be started properly under systemd. That may be behind some of the problems that people misinterpreted as being somehow intentional. That bug will be fixed for jessie, and wouldn't have affected people using the default of rsyslog. The systemd journal is supplemental, and can be ignored completely (apart from some rare edge cases involving extremely high log volumes, where you would already be doing custom tuning to make syslog cope). All the log files that you expect to have still are there in the same format they are now. I've been running systemd for about a year now, and don't use the journal at all except via systemctl status. I still grep /var/log because I always take a long time to adopt a new tool. I noticed precisely zero change when switching to systemd. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
