Compare Syslog and Journald. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

What will be an ideal response?


Syslog is a standard solution for logging. It uses plaintext files but has a lack of structure. The information is not centralized and it may be necessary to search through lots of unrelated information to find relevant information. Syslog does not provide a way to separate messages by the related applications.
Furthermore, the plaintext files may require rotation to keep them from becoming too large. Journald replaces plaintext log files with special file format for log messages. This makes it easier to find relevant log messages.
