The journald daemon maintains a system log called the journal, which is located in /var/log/journal/. The behavior of the journald daemon is configured in /etc/systemd/journald. conf. Some of the key configuration parameters in this file include: Specifies the maximum amount of time to store entries in the journal file before starting a new file.
