linux command to read/monitor events from systemd-journald

Question

I want to monitor the events and logs of systemd-journal. Didn't find any commands i can use for the same. I am looking for something like 'tail -100f' which can show me the decoded events of systemd-journal

Answer 1

journalctl -u gunicorn | tail -n 100

Answer 2

The journalctl utility displays logs from systemd units. systemd-journal is a system unit. Therefore, you can use the following:
