I was just quoting Andreas Jaeger. We stopped installing a syslog daemon because our main audience doesn't need one.
I read the thread, but fail to understand. journalctl still makes a better job than the previous /var/log/message IMHO
It all depends on what you do with /var/log/(messages|mail|firewall). The systemd journal certainly does not replace syslog-ng, for instance. (except maybe on a single-user desktop machine at home). Most of my logs are rotated daily, archived and analyzed (for anomalies, statistics and other feedback). I have a couple of cases where daemons are fed loglines directly from syslog-ng (see the program() option). Maybe that's all possible with journalctl, but syslog-ng does an excellent job.
journalctl -b 0
is very fast:
time journalctl -b 0 > null
real 0m0.097s user 0m0.072s sys 0m0.024s
and as I need to read it and usually read it, some second delay do not change anything
