Re: setting journalctl to output everything

What is missing? How exactly do you run journalctl?
I have no idea what /var/log/syslog from ubuntu does so please upload a sample somewhere and post a link.

A lot of things journalctl does not output things like when i restart named. i wany to see the dns information or dns errors

An example in syslog from ubuntu

Nov 17 14:19:55 .... named[7634]: zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1
Nov 17 14:19:55 .... named[7634]: zone domain1.com/IN: loaded serial 2014000001
Nov 17 14:19:55 .... named[7634]: zone domain2.com/IN: loaded serial 2014051002
Nov 17 14:19:55 ..... named[7634]: zone 127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1
Nov 17 14:19:55  ..... named[7634]: zone 255.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 1
Nov 17 14:19:55  ..... named[7634]: zone domain3.como/IN: loaded serial 2014000003

Re: setting journalctl to output everything

Did you read

$ man journald.conf

Maybe there's what you're looking for.

Re: setting journalctl to output everything

journalctl outputs everything that was logged - perhaps you need to make named output more (by adjusting its service file).

Re: setting journalctl to output everything

Another possibility is that you're not running it as root.  Try "sudo journalctl" instead and you'll get more output.
