systemd journalctl Logging
Hi all, I am slowly getting used to some of the changes between Legacy models and OS6 whilst in the process of migrating from an aging Pro6 to a 526X. One of the differences which I noticed f...
Rsyncs were done via Backup jobs but from another NAS. This was the destination device, otherwise they would have been within seperate backup logs I'd assume.
The logs zip includes recent lines of the journal in systemd-journal.log in the logs zip file. If you SSH in you'll see that the journal can grow to several times that size. kernel.log for instance shows recent lines in the journal that are about the kernel so would go further back in time than entries in systemd-journal.log.
If you do encounter a problem it's best to look at the logs ASAP before they are rotated.
Hmm... That would lead me to believe that those logs (kernel) are kept seperately somewhere then?
No. The kernel logs are logged to the journal. But if you download say the last X lines of the journal that's quite a different thing to downloading the last X lines of the journal that are kernel log entries where X is the same number. Not all logs in the journal are kernel log entries.
