journalctl command to see kernel messages

2017-01-30 98 words 1 min read

Sometimes, there are just too many messages in journalctl output and it becomes a mystery game to search for the messages you are looking for. But luckily you do not need to use grep to find the right message. Here is example of what I had to do when I was looking for kernel messages.

journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel
# To see all the fields, you can use the verbose mode
journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel -o verbose

# And the filter on priority if needed to get the messages you need
journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel PRIORITY=4

# and follow
journalctl _TRANSPORT=kernel PRIORITY=4 -f -l
