Systemd has changed the way system logging is managed for CentOS Linux. Instead of every daemon on the system placing logs into individual locations than using tools such as tail or grep as the primary way of sorting and filtering log entries, journald has brought a single point of administration to analyzing system logs.

The main components behind systemd logging are: journal, jounralctl, and journald.conf

journald is the main logging daemon and is configured by editing journald.conf while journalctl is used to analyze events logged by journald.

Events logged by journald include − kernel events, user processes, and daemon services.

Set the Correct System Time Zone

Before using journalctl, we need to make sure our system time is set to the correct time. To do this, we want to use timedatectl.

Let's check the current system time.

Currently, the system is correct to the local time zone. If your system is not, let's set the correct time zone. After changing the settings, CentOS will automatically calculate the time zone offset from the current time zone, adjusting the system clock right away.

Let's list all the time zones with timedatectl −

That is the contended output from timedatectl list-timezones. To find a specific local time-zone, the grep command can be used −

The label used by CentOS is usually Country/Region with an underscore instead of space (New_York versus 'New York').

Now let's set our time zone −

Your system clock should automatically adjust the time.

Use journalctl to Analyze Logs

Common command line switches when using journalctl −

Switch	Action
-k	Lists only kernel messages
-u	Lists by specific unit (httpd, sshd, etc...)
-b	Boots the label offset
-o	Logs the output format
-p	Filters by log type (either name or number)
-F	Fieldname or fieldnamevalue
--utc	Time in UTC offset
--since	Filter by timeframe

Examine Boot Logs

First, we will examine and configure the boot logs in CentOS Linux. The first thing you will notice is that CentOS, by default, doesn't store boot logging that is persistent across reboots.

To check boot logs per reboot instance, we can issue the following command −

After rebooting the system, we can see another entry.

Now, let's examine the last boot logging instance −

Above is the condensed output from our last boot. We could also refer back to a boot log from hours, days, weeks, months, and even years. However, by default CentOS doesn't store persistent boot logs. To enable persistently storing boot logs, we need to make a few configuration changes −

• Make central storage points for boot logs
• Give proper permissions to a new log folder
• Configure journald.conf for persistent logging

Configure Boot Location for Persistent Boot Logs

The initial place journald will want to store persistent boot logs is /var/log/journal. Since this doesn't exist by default, let's create it −

Now, let's give the directory proper permissions journald daemon access −

Finally, let's tell journald it should store persistent boot logs. In vim or your favorite text editor, open /etc/systemd/jounrald.conf'.

The line we are concerned with is, Storage=. First remove the comment #, then change to Storage = persistent as depicted above. Save and reboot your CentOS system and take care that there should be multiple entries when running journalctl list-boots.

Note − A constantly changing machine-id like that from a VPS provider can cause journald to fail at storing persistent boot logs. There are many workarounds for such a scenario. It is best to peruse the current fixes posted to CentOS Admin forums, than follow the trusted advice from those who have found plausible VPS workarounds.

To examine a specific boot log, we simply need to get each offset using journald --list-boots the offset with the -b switch. So to check the second boot log we'd use −

The default for -b with no boot log offset specified will always be the current boot log after the last reboot.

Analyze Logs by Log Type

Events from journald are numbered and categorized into 7 separate types −

Hence, if we want to see all warnings the following command can be issued via journalctl −

The above shows all warnings for the past 4 days on the system.

The new way of viewing and perusing logs with systemd does take little practice and research to become familiar with. However, with different output formats and particular notice to making all packaged daemon logs universal, it is worth embracing. journald offers great flexibility and efficiency over traditional log analysis methods.

Again, as noted in original post, other systems boot fine. Only problem is with Arch and it just started. Arch has been running fine, till the time of my first post on the problem.
Also, when Arch boot and the keyboard works, then the system runs like a champ. Just every so often, this problem/feature appears.
Thanks.
