A first prototype of the systemd journal reading module is available at: https://github.com/ancorgs/yast-journal
It still does not include a Rakefile, so you'll have to do something like this to play with it. Y2DIR=src/ /usr/sbin/yast2 journal It took me a little bit longer than expected because: - I have been going back and forward with the UI design/implementation. - I tried to mimic ActiveRecord as much as possible when querying the journal. Turns out it was not a brilliant decision (as stated in the comments of the SystemdJournal::Query class). I'm sure the code contains a lot of newbie mistakes (specially in the UI part) so let's find them all before we start writing a tutorial with that code as a base :-) I implemented the classes for retrieving and processing the journal entries as pure ruby classes living in /lib. But I'm not sure if it's a good decision. Wouldn't it be better to implement them as a module so it can be accessed from other programming languages? There are still a lot of usability problems and I still need a way to make all this information visible [1], but it's just the first prototype. I'm more worried right now about the architecture (lib vs module) and the libyui usage mistakes/patterns.
