How to tell journald to re-read its configuration?

To control running services with systemd, use the systemctl utility. This utility is similar to the service utility provided by SysVinit and Upstart. Among others:

  • systemctl status systemd-journald indicates whether the service is running and additional information if it is.
  • systemctl start systemd-journald starts the service (systemd unit).
  • systemctl stop systemd-journald stops the service.
  • systemctl restart systemd-journald restarts the service.
  • systemctl reload systemd-journald reloads the service's configuration if possible, but will not kill it (so no risk of a service interruption or of disrupting processing in progress, but the service may keep running with a stale configuration).
  • systemctl force-reload systemd-journald reloads the service's configuration if possible, and if not restarts the service (so the service is guaranteed to use the current configuration, but this may interrupt something).
  • systemctl daemon-reload reloads systemd's own configuration.

systemctl restart systemd-journald does the trick.

I'm answering it myself as googling it does not return any useful page.
