 ### Release Notes
 
+With this release the systemd configuration files for InfluxDB will use the system configured default for logging and will no longer write files to `/var/log/influxdb` by default. On most systems, the logs will be directed to the systemd journal and can be accessed by `journalctl -u influxdb.service`. Consult the systemd journal documentation for configuring journald.
