I'm not sure how you are doing this currently but for shutdown guest I 
assume you would mount then run something like

journalctl -D /path/to/journal/files | the script you use to parse the logs

And or use systemd-gateway for active guests as in

<https://jira.skyggnir.is/secure/admin/user/ViewUser.jspa?atl_token=B392-8G0S-SYQQ-21VP%7Ccbcceb6069c5f860c32629fc73971afb2f37df29%7Clin&name=haf-sbj># 
systemctl start systemd-journal-gatewayd.service

Then run

# wget http://localhost:19531/entries

To download the journal contents in a /var/log/messages compatible format

Or if you want to download it in JASON compatible format

# curl -H"Accept: application/json" http://localhost:19531/entries

If you simply want to browse the log file of an running guest you would 
just visit the http://IP:19531/browse <http://localhost:19531/browse> in 
your favorite browser
