journalctl命令来自英文词组“journal control”的缩写,其功能是用于查看指定的日志信息。在RHEL7/CentOS7及以后版本的Linux系统中,Systemd服务统一管理了所有服务的启动日志,带来的好处就是可以只用journalctl一个命令,查看到全部的日志信息了。

语法格式:journalctl [参数] [对象]

常用参数:

-a显示所有字段信息
-b显示本次系统启动x日志
-c从指定位置开始显示条目
-D设置目录路径
-f追踪日志内容
-k显示内核日志
-m显示所有可用日志
-n设置日志条数
-o设置日志条目格式
-p依据优先级筛选
-q静默执行模式
-r反选内容后再显示
-u显示指定服务的日志
--help显示帮助信息
--version显示版本信息

参考示例
