And you should probably make sure that you do since every existing log analysis tool requires text logs.

Also, remote syslog, which journald doesn't support.

I was going on information from Red Hat that RHEL7 can't do that. Turns out, Red Hat was right, RHEL7 can't.

systemd-journald-remote was added with systemd 212, RHEL and CentOS ship with 208, so no, journald on RHEL7/CentOS7 can not do remote logging.

I also like completely ignoring how journald breaks every log analysis tool.

touche, you are correct. I'm sure it will be added as a backported enhancement at some point, but installing rsyslog is a yum install away and solves both needs.
