And, despite your statement to the contrary, "journalctl" (without -f) does truncate long lines. The difference is that "journalctl" just chops them off, while "journalctl -f" does the nutty "chop characters columns-4 to linelength-1 and replace them with dots" bit.
Ooh. Yeah, journalctl -f shouldn't do that. That makes it a lot less useful.
If I'm following the logs with "journalctl -f", I basically only see the time, hostname, and process name/id. Pretty much everything else is truncated. If I actually need to see the messages, is the Right Way to do this "journalctl -f |cat"?
journalctl -fl in sufficiently new versions.
