general shitfuckery

problems with systemd-journal-remote central log solution:

  • if splitmode=host, then it "says" it requires PTR records for the IPs the logs come from to name the files correctly. I tried setting up PTR records, doesnt work. Hence I switched to splitmode=none
  • files are rotated at an annoying size of 64M, which can not (yet, deb11 current) be configured but: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5242 which points to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/25076 (merged) would fix that, but its not in deb11 at the time of writing this
  • not showing up (fast enough) during reboots should be fixed already by hacking around with spawn delay in the systemd file
  • filenames created from rotation are not human readable. one could use the filesystem timestamps to get a rough estimation of when the file was rotated

wishlist

  • alerts on logfiles
