Enable systemd journal service data persistency

The default configuration of the systemd journal service stores the data in the volatile /run/log/journal directory. To view system logs across system starts and restarts, you must enable log persistence and set limits on the maximal journal data size.

Procedure
  1. Make the directory by running the following command:

    $ sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d
  2. Create the configuration file by running the following command:

    cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/microshift.conf &>/dev/null
    [Journal]
    Storage=persistent
    SystemMaxUse=1G
    RuntimeMaxUse=1G
    EOF
  3. Edit the configuration file values for your size requirements.
