Open Stack

Two further questions:

After looking a bit further, journald seems to have the ability to forward
to an journald aggregation target.  Is there an option in OpenStack-Ansible
to configure this in all of the deployed containers?

Are there any relevant services deployed in a typical OSA deployment that
don't log to journald?

Thanks.
