More About systemd Logging
By default, the standard Syslog system for logging is enabled for the license server service once the service is installed. However, systemd has its own integrated logging system called systemd journal. To switch to systemd journaling, you must edit the .conf file once the service installed. See Enable systemd Logging for details.
When using systemd journaling, the license server requires no external configuration as it does when using Syslog (which requires a custom Log4J configuration). Additionally, when the journal is enabled, the status output for the license server includes entries from the journal for the administrator’s convenience. However, a drawback in using systemd journaling is that a logging level above INFO can have a negative impact on license server performance.
You manage the systemd journal using journalctl commands. The following sections provide an overview of how to perform basic management tasks:
| • | View Journal Entries |
| • | Configure the Journal |
Prerequisite
Run journalctl commands as a root or sudo user.
