Role Variables

Role variables include journald configuration variables as documented in detail at [freedesktop.org][freedesktop/journald] or man 5 journald.conf. Each role variable has the systemd_journald_ prefix, and is named accordingly, e.g. MaxRetentionSec= maps to the systemd_journald_maxretensionsec role variable.

Note: This role doesn't aim to be 100% complete at all times. When new variables are introduced and you need them feel free to contribute.
