[opensuse] Journalctl and rsyncd.log
Leap 42.1 with KDE5 I used to do tail -f /var/log/rsyncd.log For example: :~> tail -f /var/log/rsyncd.log 2015/11/27 12:34:40 [12582] connect from hostxx-xxx-xxx-xx.range81-157.btcentralplus.com (81.157.xx.xx) 2015/11/27 12:34:41 [12582] rsync to mixes/ from play@host81-157-xx-xx.range81-157.btcentralplus.com (81.157.xx.xx) 2015/11/27 12:34:41 [12582] receiving file list 2015/11/27 12:34:41 [12582] ERROR: daemon refused to receive file "group" 2015/11/27 12:34:41 [12582] ERROR: daemon refused to receive file "passwd" 2015/11/27 12:34:42 [12582] sent 328 bytes received 32,634 bytes total size 17,763,552,626 2015/11/27 12:34:42 [12584] connect from host81-157-xx-xx.range81-157.btcentralplus.com (81.157.xx.xx) 2015/11/27 12:34:43 [12584] rsync to soundtracks/ from play@host81-157-xx-xx.range81-157.btcentralplus.com (81.157.xx.xx) 2015/11/27 12:34:43 [12584] receiving file list 2015/11/27 12:34:44 [12584] sent 125 bytes received 28,854 bytes total size 3,605,847,084 I believe the modern way is to use journalctl but I don't get much useful output. The following was done during the same rsync session from a remote machine as the tail command quoted above: :~> journalctl -f --unit=rsyncd -- Logs begin at Tue 2015-06-02 10:09:55 BST. -- How do I use journalctl to follow the last x lines of the log?

I believe the modern way is to use journalctl

Yes, it writes to /var/log/rsyncd.log. But if that's the case, how does journalctl know when the rsyncd logs begin and end? :~> journalctl -n -u=rsyncd -- Logs begin at Tue 2015-06-02 10:09:55 BST, end at Fri 2015-11-27 13:45:01 GMT. -- Presumably it is getting that information from the rsyncd systemd unit.

What makes you believe it is logs for rsyncd? What does it say for any other unit?

The same for sshd. So there *is* an rsyncd unit, but not very useful for this use case. That's OK. I'll stick with 'tail'.
