+### Systemd journal
+
+<span class="minilink minilink-addedin">New in version 2.1.0</span>If the syslog
+verbosity is set and systemd's journal is present, then borgmatic sends
+structured logs to the journal instead of plain text. This allows you to query
+logs by particular fields. For instance:
+
+```bash
+journalctl --catalog --pager-end SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=borgmatic
+```
+
+Or to view just borgmatic warning and error logs:
+
+```bash
+journalctl --catalog --pager-end SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=borgmatic --priority warning..alert
+```
+
+The fields borgmatic sends are:
+
+ * `MESSAGE`: the log message
+ * `PRIORITY`: the [numeric priority level](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Journal#Priority_level) for the log entry
+ * `SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER`: `borgmatic`
+ * `SYSLOG_PID`: borgmatic's process ID
+
+You can also output these stuctured logs as JSON:
+
+```bash
+journalctl --output=json SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=borgmatic
+```
+
+Note that systemd's journal adds its own fields to the JSON on top of the fields
+that borgmatic logs.
