4.2.1.2 Ensure journald service is enabled

Audit#

Run the following command to verify systemd-journald is enabled:

# systemctl is-enabled systemd-journald.service

Verify the output matches:

static

Remediation#

By default the systemd-journald service does not have an [Install] section and thus cannot be enabled / disabled. It is meant to be referenced as Requires or Wants by other unit files. As such, if the status of systemd-journald is not static, investigate why.
