|
## Description

|
|
|
- Copies a customized `journald.conf` to `/etc/systemd/journald.conf`
|
|
- Ensures log retention for one week
|
|
- Restarts the `systemd-journald` service when configuration changes

|
- Supports live log streaming via `journalctl -f`
|

On change, it notifies a handler to restart `systemd-journald`.
