Show the full log line when using journalctl

by May 23, 2025IT Tips0 comments

When using journalctl to display log entries longer lines are truncated to a terminal width with a `>' to indicate the line continues off screen

To have the full log entry line displayed use the following

journalctl --since 'May 22 07:00:00' --no-pager | less

A down side of using --no-pager | less is you lose the text colouring for error, warning, debug text if your terminal previously had it
