Personally, I find "journalctl -b" , "journalctl -b -1" a really useful feature, much better than searching for the right "rsyslog restart" mark in /var/log/messages.

And it is quite easy to view the log of a single service with `journalctl -b -u foo'.

I too like journalctl's viewing features. However the default not too store previous logs has bitten me twice in recent months, on different systems. I think 'Storage=auto' should not be the openSUSE default. Swapping tales-of-woe with a Mint using colleague, he too had been baffled by missing logs, so I assume persistence is an upstream thing. Kepner-Tregoe built a business around "the trouble is..., the trouble is not...". Holding "working" logs can be invaluable when trying to troubleshoot, easily worth the meagre cost of storage and trivial overhead of log segmentation/rotation.
