I just did. I was very surprised that when I started it, it logged all messages since boot. It must have queried the systemd journal, instead of starting logging messages since the instant it starts to run.
hm. I did it, too, but probably I did something wrong: my /var/log/messages (and the other files there that were created after the install) are all 0 bytes.
Because the syslog service gets enabled, not started. Perhaps a bug? Dunno. So either reboot, or start it manually.
(For the other messages here: I am not at systems analyzer and most things in those logs are chinese to me. But sometimes - in very rare cases - I took a look what is going on, and sometimes I found some anomalities. As much as I know, in the current binary version of the logs I first must know what I am looking for and make a query, but I never know: I just scroll thru the list and see if there's something "suspicious". A /very/ amateur approach, I know. )
You can simply do "journalctl | less -S" and you get the entire log in text form. The problem is that if the log is persistent and you use rotating disks, the operation is slow. Like half an hour. Another problem, for me, is that even without permanent systemd journal the space used in ram and disk is very large, because some services I use are very, very talkative, filling gigabytes of text. It is not possible, AFAIK, to tell the journal to purge certain classes of messages to devnull and keep the rest. With any syslog daemon that is trivial. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
