You're welcome.
Weirdly, you can find the correspondence between the facility name and
the facility number in "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/syslog.h"
and not in a man page. (You can also find it in the IETF syslog RFC!)
The ones that I keep in mind are 3 (daemons), 4 (auth), 10 (authpriv).
I can't remember any other, although I /think/ that mail is 2.
Run "journalctl -u <daemon>" (u for unit) to see the log for a specific service.
"journalctl -u <daemon>" is the same as (or perhaps I should say
"short for") "journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=<daemon>.service". I don't know
why you have to append ".service" to the latter but tab completion
takes care of it anyway.
