I am using systemd, as everybody with openSUSE, and I have plain text logs, which I do browse with grep and the rest. I get separate log files, and I choose how they are distributed. And they are rotated and compressed properly, as always.
Are you sure about the "always" part?
# ls -l /var/log # 12.1 47 lines of output http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/varlog121
# ls -l /var/log # 13.1 (upgraded from 12.3) 37 lines of output http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/varlog131
I don't see anything wrong in there. Your plain text logs are there, and there is rotation and separation.
Systemd does generate a binary log of its own, which can be persistent, on disk, or just for the current boot. But nothing impedes you to use a syslog daemon as always.
"Nothing"? Is it enabled by default like the 11.4 way did? I don't know anything about setting up any such thing. I didn't need to.
What do you want to setup, persistent systemd style login? You simply create the journal directory. Don't ask me the details, I don't want it. Or text login? Because your 13.1 system clearly has it.
There have been discussions about which should be the default setting in openSUSE, but so far, I think that syslog is staying by default, and if not, you can easily activate it.
Activate how?
By installing one of the available syslog daemons.
Change is not always progress, particularly WRT systemd and things that now depend on it that never depended on Sysvinit.
But in this particular instance, logs have not changed. We simply have two log systems available. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
