102-500 Exam - Question 28


Which of the following statements about systemd-journald are true? (Choose three.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CDE

Systemd-journald can indeed pass log messages to syslog for further processing, maintains metadata such as _UID or _PID for each message, and supports syslog facilities such as kern, user, and auth. This makes options C, D, and E the correct statements about systemd-journald. Options A and B are incorrect: systemd-journald is compatible with syslog and can be installed on a system using regular syslog, and it processes messages from various sources, not just systemd.
