Cleanup

Check current disk usage:

sudo journalctl --disk-usage

Use rotate function:

sudo journalctl --rotate

Or

Remove all logs and keep the last 2 days:

sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2days

Or

Remove all logs and only keep the last 100MB:

sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=100M

How to read logs:

Follow specific log for a service:

sudo journalctl -fu SERVICE

Show extended log info and print the last lines of a service:

sudo journalctl -xeu SERVICE

Thank you for this, wise sage.

Your wisdom will be passed down the family line for generations about managing machine logs.

Glad to help your family, share this wisdom with friends too โ˜๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Yeah, if I had dependents they'd gather round the campfire chanting these mystical runes in the husk of our fallen society
