TODO
Scope
- Disable rsyslog by default ( minor changes ).
How To Test
Trigger a logging event and test systemd-journalctl with various command line switches.
User Experience
For the novice end users this has no noticeable effect other than a single command to use to view logs should he be forced to use it.
For advanced users such as administrators they will need to enable and start rsyslog or syslog-ng to use many of the enterprise features they currently provide over systemd journal.
Dependencies
Depends on the presence of systemd v38+ being installed which is the case for Fedora 17 and onwards.
Contingency Plan
re-enable rsyslog.
Documentation
- It's recommended that documentation is updated to reflect usage of the native systemd journal command and it's configuration file
