Enable systemd-journald Service

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The systemd-journald service is an essential component of systemd. The systemd-journald service can be enabled with the following command: 
$ sudo systemctl enable systemd-journald.service

Rationale

In the event of a system failure, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 must preserve any information necessary to determine cause of failure and any information necessary to return to operations with least disruption to system processes.
