Scylla output to systemd journal - I do not see the priorities

[Tzach Livyatan]

Looking at Scylla logs at systemd journal, I do not see the prio of each row.
Its obviously there, since I can filter it with

journalctl _COMM=scylla -p err..emerg

Whats the trick to display it?

Should Scylla explicitly add the prio to each log row?

journalctl color codes the lines.

Got to love systemd.

Not only did they throw away the Unix notion of the text file (/var/log/message) they also threw away the notion of the pipe, by preventing things like

       journaltcl | grep ...

from working as expected: Not only is some of the fields shown as "color code", when journalctl detects the output is not a tty, it even doesn't do this color coding (!).

Journalctl's built-in filtering can be considered by some an acceptable replacement for grep.
To me it just looks like a 1980s-style MS-DOS command. Those worked well if the authors of the command remembered to add all the features you wanted. If they forgot one feature (like you want here - to make the priority visible in a textual format), you're screwed.
