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. Happy to review/merge a patch for that. > > Background - when user asks question about journald, the first > information is current settings (like whether persistence is enabled or > not).

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.
