CGO free alternative to sdjournal ?

[guettli]

I am looking for a CGO free alternative to sdjournal

This would solve two problems:

• I can avoid the coreos/go-systemd package (unmaintained)
• I can easily build for arm.

I think it is best to use the journalctl binary. Like this PR which replaces the coreos/go-systemd package: https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/40061/files

Alternative: https://github.com/Velocidex/go-journalctl (but seems very fresh, only three commits).

Executing journalctl would likely be your best option then. I would say this is likely out of scope for this project though.
