Hmm. Never tried to use journald at any reasonable scale beyond tens of servers. Good to know its characteristics. To be honest I wasn’t looking for a long term log management system and that is why Journald even came up in mind. If it could aggregate logs from several servers and retain them for a week while expiring older logs to an archive source, it’s sufficient for my needs.

Exactly why I wrote my comment. :) Because it seems it's able to do that, but not really. And it seems easy to fix, but of course patches are welcome. (Hopefully.) https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5242 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5242 Sure, it's not terribly hard to work around it with a cron (or systemd-timer) script, but why go uphill, when there are better tools.
