journalctl helps you with that too:

"journalctl -p notice" will output all messages of log level "notice"
and higher, which is the stuff that matters, and what you really should
look at. And even if you do not pass this to journalctl you will get the
important lines highlighted bold and the really important ones red, so
it should be really easy to find the output that matters.
