Sorry, a bit late to reply but I'm mostly referring to the 'get the logs once your system is in a bad state) I've had better experience with file logs and database files than f'd-up journald logs... I think I saw somewhere a way to set a table as append-only and to put triggers to remove old entries in sqlite. If not pg is also your friend, what with partitioning and write-only tuning. I'm just not sure about the 'designed' part. Rsyslog is a great logger, hugely tuneable, with decades of advanced features, and I don't get why it could not be massaged to 'integrate' well in systemd, with all the money poured in it. The only explanation that I feel is convincing enough is control and made-in-redhat. I feel the same about ntp, and firewalld... But maybe I'm just old.
