alpha status
rather than grep /var/log/messages, systemd interface makes it
easy to filter by field and period of interest. metadata is
stored along with regular log messages, which reduces the ability
of bad actors to spoof logs

Description
systemd-journald is a system service that collects and stores
logging data. It creates and maintains structured, indexed
journals based on logging information that is received from a
variety of sources:
Kernel log messages, via kmsg
Simple system log messages, via the libc syslog(3) call
Structured system log messages via the native Journal API, see
sd_journal_print(4)
Standard output and standard error of system services
Audit records, via the audit subsystem
The daemon will implicitly collect numerous metadata fields for
each log messages in a secure and unfakeable way. See
systemd.journal-fields(7) for more information about the
collected metadata.
Log data collected by the journal is primarily text-based but can
also include binary data where necessary. All objects stored in
the journal can be up to 2^64-1 bytes in size.
