Thanks PAMU,

I would like to grep all files under:

/var/log/syslog*

which would include:

Code:
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  133256 Oct 17 08:04 /var/log/syslog.7.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  146465 Oct 18 07:56 /var/log/syslog.6.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  158721 Oct 19 07:48 /var/log/syslog.5.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  172300 Oct 20 07:40 /var/log/syslog.4.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  183107 Oct 21 07:49 /var/log/syslog.3.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  206954 Oct 22 07:45 /var/log/syslog.2.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 5840020 Oct 23 07:49 /var/log/syslog.1

systemd-journald.socket

SYSTEMD-JOURNALD.SERVICE(8)				     systemd-journald.service				       SYSTEMD-JOURNALD.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-journald.service, systemd-journald.socket, systemd-journald - Journal service

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-journald.service

       systemd-journald.socket

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-journald is a system service that collects and stores logging data. It creates and maintains structured, indexed journals based on
       logging information that is received from the kernel, from user processes via the libc syslog(3) call, from STDOUT/STDERR of system
       services or via its native API. It will implicitly collect numerous meta data fields for each log messages in a secure and unfakeable way.
       See systemd.journal-fields(7) for more information about the collected meta data.

       Log data collected by the journal is primarily text-based but can also include binary data where necessary. All objects stored in the
       journal can be up to 2^64-1 bytes in size.

       By default, the journal stores log data in /run/log/journal/. Since /run/ is volatile, log data is lost at reboot. To make the data
       persistent, it is sufficient to create /var/log/journal/ where systemd-journald will then store the data.

       systemd-journald will forward all received log messages to the AF_UNIXSOCK_DGRAM socket /run/systemd/journal/syslog, if it exists, which
       may be used by Unix syslog daemons to process the data further.

       See journald.conf(5) for information about the configuration of this service.

SIGNALS

       SIGUSR1
	   Request that journal data from /run/ is flushed to /var/ in order to make it persistent (if this is enabled). This must be used after
	   /var/ is mounted, as otherwise log data from /run is never flushed to /var regardless of the configuration.

       SIGUSR2
	   Request immediate rotation of the journal files.

KERNEL COMMAND LINE

       A few configuration parameters from journald.conf may be overridden on the kernel command line:

       systemd.journald.forward_to_syslog=, systemd.journald.forward_to_kmsg=, systemd.journald.forward_to_console=
	   Enables/disables forwarding of collected log messages to syslog, the kernel log buffer or the system console.

	   See journald.conf(5) for information about these settings.

ACCESS CONTROL

       Journal files are, by default, owned and readable by the "systemd-journal" system group but are not writable. Adding a user to this group
       thus enables her/him to read the journal files.

       By default, each logged in user will get her/his own set of journal files in /var/log/journal/. These files will not be owned by the user,
       however, in order to avoid that the user can write to them directly. Instead, file system ACLs are used to ensure the user gets read access
       only.

       Additional users and groups may be granted access to journal files via file system access control lists (ACL). Distributions and
       administrators may choose to grant read access to all members of the "wheel" and "adm" system groups with a command such as the following:

	   # setfacl -Rnm g:wheel:rx,d:g:wheel:rx,g:adm:rx,d:g:adm:rx /var/log/journal/

       Note that this command will update the ACLs both for existing journal files and for future journal files created in the /var/log/journal/
       directory.

FILES

       /etc/systemd/journald.conf
	   Configure systemd-journald behaviour. See journald.conf(5).

       /run/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal, /run/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal~, /var/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal,
       /var/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal~
	   systemd-journald writes entries to files in /run/log/journal/machine-id/ or /var/log/journal/machine-id/ with the ".journal" suffix. If
	   the daemon is stopped uncleanly, or if the files are found to be corrupted, they are renamed using the ".journal~" suffix, and
	   systemd-journald starts writing to a new file.  /run is used when /var/log/journal is not available, or when Storage=volatile is set in
	   the journald.conf(5) configuration file.
