+# Entries in this file show the compile time defaults. Local configuration
+# should be created by either modifying this file (or a copy of it placed in
+# /etc/ if the original file is shipped in /usr/), or by creating "drop-ins" in
+# the /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/ directory. The latter is generally
+# recommended. Defaults can be restored by simply deleting the main
+# configuration file and all drop-ins located in /etc/.
+#
+# Use 'systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/journald.conf' to display the full config.

+# See journald.conf(5) for details.
