I have a mixed feelings about that. I think that replacing rsyslog with journald is two steps back in regards to functionality and flexibility. Rsyslog in unparalleled with its ability to process and filter messages (rainerscript), to transform messages (liblognorm), to forward messages to Elasticsearch or centralise Rsyslog instance, _reliably_ (relp), to buffer message queue on disk in case communication is disrupted, etc. Am I correct that journald is nowhere near that functionality? Also maturity/stability -- Rsyslog has been around much longer and it never let me down... As a heavy user or Rsyslog features I feel that switching default logging system yields no benefits to say the least. -- Best wishes, Dmitry Smirnov --- Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their readiness to doubt. -- H.
