[Bug 1751006] Re: Journalctl compiled without pattern matching support, pcre2 is not in main

[Michał J. Gajda]

Maybe we can have `journalctl-grep` package for administrators that use
this grep functionality for checking what happened? Nowadays debugging
is recognized as foremost computing activity, even chips have special
JTAG pins to allow online debugging.

I could expect most of the system administrators with big logs would
appreciate faster searching of log files thanks to `journalctl -g` in
the leading cloud operating system.
