Description Christina Scheinig univentionstaff 2017-04-03 14:42:45 CEST
We should configure the systemd logging as "persistent". Default is "auto". 


root@ucs-42:# man journald.conf
[...]
Storage=
           Controls where to store journal data. One of "volatile", "persistent", "auto" and "none". If "volatile", journal log data will be stored only in
           memory, i.e. below the /run/log/journal hierarchy (which is created if needed). If "persistent", data will be stored preferably on disk, i.e.
           below the /var/log/journal hierarchy (which is created if needed), with a fallback to /run/log/journal (which is created if needed), during early
           boot and if the disk is not writable.  "auto" is similar to "persistent" but the directory /var/log/journal is not created if needed, so that its
           existence controls where log data goes.  "none" turns off all storage, all log data received will be dropped. Forwarding to other targets, such
           as the console, the kernel log buffer or a syslog daemon will still work however. Defaults to "auto".

Comment 1 Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2017-04-04 17:23:42 CEST
We should just create an empty directory /var/log/journal/ and probably add some logrotate rules.

RFC: Is there a reason why you added the *same* UCR settings to both "install" and "upgreade"? That IMHO only makes sense if they would be different. I find that confusing. (I recommend moving them to line 60 after logrotate)
