Hi @vladsniper,

there is a community beat called [journalbeat](https://github.com/mheese/journalbeat), that can ship logs from the systemd journal to any supported beats output and Elasticsearch in particular. Once the journal entries are indexed in Elasticsearch you can easily explore and visualize them in Kibana. For a general overview of how beats work see the [product page](https://www.elastic.co/products/beats) and the [platform documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/beats-reference.html).
