Systemd is pretty good at hiding error messages. Even if you run the commands it claims will show you error message it makes stupid assumption that your window is infinitely wide or that you want lines truncated instead of wrapped. Even with an infinitely wide window you still don't get nearly as much debugging info as previous systems. For anything complex I end up reverse engineering the startup script and running it from the command line. Then if I update the service systemd notices the file changed, but instead of loading it it runs the old version and complains. It really seems rather sysadmin hostile and replaces tried and true daemons like ISC's named or unbound with a rather poor systemd replacement.
