How do you see what loads up in grub

I'm mostly familiar with syslinux and seeing what boots in journal. How do you get this feature to load in grub.cfg I am not totally familiar with grub and I want to see what loads up in the boot journal.

Humm?

The booted kernel is logged in the system journal (kernel ringbuffer) regardless of the bootloader - if you're looking for something else, please specify what that is.

All I need is the commands for grub config to see what loads up similar to syslinux thats what i ment because grub works fine and all but i am not seeing what loads in journal at boot. please give me the commands in the grub configuration.

I'll try this in a more direct fashion: your question is unintelligible.
If you see the boot menu, select an entry and press "e" you can see (and edit) the boot parameters, but I still have no idea what you're actually asking for.

Do you mean something like this:

Loading linux.. ok
Loading initramfs...

If you mean that, GRUB does not directly display this information. But if you generate the configuration file with grub-mkconfig, you will end up with something like this doing the similar job:

echo Loading linux...
linux /path/to/linux "kernel parameters"
echo loading initramfs...
initrd /path/to/initramfs

Echo lines print what is being loaded.

Hard interpretation stretch, but do you mean the "quiet" kernel parameter grub sets by default, as in you want to see the systemd loading log? You can remove that from the kernel parameter line in /etc/default/grub and regenerate your grub config.
