            Bug ID: 88075
           Summary: journalctl: MIssing priority label makes log messages
                    hard to read.
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: leamas.alec at gmail.com
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

When running out existing code using plain syslog + 'cat messages.log' the
lines of info were something like

INFO: Nothing special happened
ERROR: Bad things happened.

The error messages are really designed for being displayed in this context,
where the first item clearöly indicates the severity of the condition causing
the log entry.

Now, as of 208 it seems that journalctl does not display these labels. When
users only sees the text they don't have the immediate classification from the
label.

I would like a new switch or preferably configuration which makes journalctl
display the label the same way as it existed in /var/log/messages etc.
