Besides the brief log output it does itself, no there's currently no way. We never had that because journald can't use D-Bus, because D-Bus itself is a client to journald. However, we recently added support for a Varlink interface, which requires no broker daemon, and hence just works. It would make a ton of sense to extend that varlink IPC interface to expose some information about configuration, its state and statistics.

Fetching files from /lib or /usr/lib? What precisely do you mean? For such build-time params we expose systemd.pc as pkg-config file, which has various paths as variables.

Re: [systemd-devel] Query currently active journald configuration option
good morning dear Andrei Borzenkov; This indicates that I should go file by file validating the /lib directory vs /usr/lib.
