The journalctl command is a tool for viewing and filtering the systemd journal logs. It accepts various parameters to control the output format, the source of the logs, and the filtering criteria. Two of the parameters that are used to limit the time frame of the output are --since= and --until=. These parameters take a date and time value in the format of “YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss” or a relative value such as “-1h” for one hour ago. For example, the command journalctl --since="2023-11-22 23:00:00" --until="2023-11-23 00:00:00" will show the logs from 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM on November 22, 2023. The --since= and --until= parameters are part of the LPI’s multi-level Linux professional certification program, and they are covered in the topic 106.1 System logging of the exam 102 objectives1.
