Evaluate systemd logs using Journalctl

Conclusion

As soon as you've come to grips with the Journald daemon, you'll never want to go back to a time before systemd. The logs are not only more detailed, but start much earlier during system boot. They're both more comprehensive and easier to analyze.

If you want to use syslog's non-binary format, change your configuration options in /etc/systemd/journald.conf to ForwardToSyslog=yes and MaxLevelSyslog=debug. In order to do this the rsyslogd [5] daemon must be running. You can also use the omjournal tool to insert messages from syslog [6].
