How do you get plain-text logs instead of the garbage binary format that journalctl forces on you?

Set ForwardToSyslog=yes in journald.conf and install a syslog daemon. Also optionally Storage=volatile (I wouldn’t set Storage=none unless you want systemd to no longer show you any logs anywhere including in systemctl status because I assume it will do that)

Thank you!

Definitely reads like a Microsoft answer, seems so much easier than just reading text

By configuring journald to forward messages to syslog as is the default.

“forces on you” 🙄

Edit: Systemd has been around for 14 years. Did you never think to google this?

It’s not the default fwiw. From journald.conf(5):

By default, only forwarding to wall is enabled.
