What is Checking Service Logs?
Systemd captures output from all managed services and stores it in the journal, a binary log managed by journald. You can view logs for a specific service using journalctl -u service-name. Useful flags include -f to follow logs in real time, --since and --until to filter by time range, and -n to limit the number of lines shown. Logs include both stdout/stderr from the process and systemd lifecycle events.
