Influxd stops populating to journal once Started InfluxDB

InfluxDB 1

I see no messages appearing in journal once InfluxDB gets fully started:

and that’s it. No more messages such is http POST or GET or compactions and other stuff.

influxdb.conf is set per default. Even tho the logging section is commented out, that means it’s set as per default states.

# level = "info"

Hello @Bedas
Can you please share your whole config?
Thank you

@Anaisdg thanks for response.
AMOF I found out that all the output is being shown in system log if I run journalctl -xe

But nothing for journalctl -f -u influxdb or I tried other variation such journalctl -f -o cat _SYSTEMD_UNIT=influxdb.service

Here you go…
