The simplest way to integrate would be to alter the xymonclient.sh code to have journalctl dump log contents using the *cursor or --since options to a separate file, which logfetch reads and handles like a "normal" log file to scan, which we rename or symlink around as needed. This has the advantage of allowing use of all the existing client-local.cfg rules regarding triggers and ignoring. We then save the cursor and start there for next time.

journald.conf supports the ForwardToSyslog option

============================ Control whether log messages received by the journal daemon shall be forwarded to a traditional syslog daemon, to the kernel log buffer (kmsg), to the system console, or sent as wall messages to all logged-in users.
