+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-journald</filename> 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 the kernel, from user processes via the libc
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call, from STDOUT/STDERR of system services or via its
+ native API. It will implicitly collect numerous meta
+ data fields for each log messages in a secure and
+ unfakeable way. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information about the collected meta data.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>By default the journal stores log data in
+ <filename>/run/log/journal/</filename>. Since
+ <filename>/run/</filename> is volatile log data is
+ lost at reboot. To make the data persistant it
+ is sufficient to create
+ <filename>/var/log/journal/</filename> where
+ <filename>systemd-journald</filename> will then store
+ the data.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-journald</filename> will
+ forward all received log messages to the AF_UNIX
+ SOCK_DGRAM socket
+ <filename>/run/systemd/journal/syslog</filename> (if it exists) which
+ may be used by UNIX syslog daemons to process the data
+ further.</para>
+
+ <para>See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journald.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for information about the configuration of this
+ service.</para>
