Nope, it doesn't only process systemd messages.

It supports syslog facilities too, right?

Dyan 12 months ago

Wait, is it really incompatible with syslog? That sounds off.

Fletcher 12 months ago

Totally agree, it maintains metadata like _UID and _PID!

It can pass log messages to syslog for further processing.

I vaguely remember something about option C being correct too, since I think journald can forward logs to syslog for further processing.

I’m not sure about option B; I feel like it does process messages from other tools too, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think option A is definitely false because I remember reading that systemd-journald can actually work alongside syslog.

Becky 1 year ago

I practiced a similar question where we discussed the metadata aspect, so I think option D is true since it does maintain info like _UID and _PID.

Raul 1 year ago

Okay, I know the key features are central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. I'll go with option D.

Ah, I think I've got it. The users are changing settings on remote endpoints, so I bet the answer is System > Configuration Backup. That's where I'd go to restore those settings.

I remember that centralization can cause issues, but did we cover if it's ever beneficial? I'm really torn on the answer and feel a bit confused.
