Hi dzg,

I'm adding the OpenBMC mailing list in case others have similar questions.

I ran into some issues when attempting to persist the journal to flash. 
You can see the details in my last update here: 
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/phosphor-host-ipmid/+/12951.

To persist the SEL to flash, we use rsyslog to get SEL entries from the 
journal when they are logged and add them to a syslog file that is 
stored in the persistent /var/log folder.

Here is our rsyslog configuration: 
https://github.com/Intel-BMC/openbmc/blob/intel/meta-openbmc-mods/meta-common/recipes-extended/rsyslog/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf.

Thanks,
-Jason
