The journal stores the same (and more) +information as classic syslog. To make use of the journal and access +the collected log data simply invoke "journalctl", which will output +the logs in the identical text-based format the syslog files in +@VARLOGDIR@ used to be. For further details, please refer to +journalctl(1). + +Alternatively, consider installing one of the traditional syslog +implementations available for your distribution, which will generate +the classic log files for you. Syslog implementations such as +syslog-ng or rsyslog may be installed side-by-side with the journal +and will continue to function the way they always did. + +Thank you! + +Further reading: + man:journalctl(1) + man:systemd-journald.service(8) + man:journald.conf(5) + http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-journal.html diff --git a/docs/var-log/meson.build b/docs/var-log/meson.build new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0ddff20 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/var-log/meson.build @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ + +file = configure_file( + input : 'README.in', + output : 'README', + configuration : substs) + +if conf.get('HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT') == 1 + install_data(file, + install_dir : varlogdir) +endif |
