Journal
Storage providers can use the journal to observe the workflow of the program in detail, and simplify troubleshooting.
File location
The journal directory is located at ~/.lotusminer/journal by default. If you have configured LOTUS_MINER_PATH, it should be located in LOTUS_MINER_PATH/journal. The latest journal file is lotus-journal.ndjson.
The journal file uses the json format by default, with system and event identifiers for easier filtering and processing.
