Research direction

Start by tracing how systemd-journal-gatewayd selects its journal sources and compare that with the storage layout used by systemd-journal-remote under /var/log/journal/remote. Verify the behavior with local and remote journal data; done means the gateway exposes logs collected from other hosts as well as the local journal.
