[`journald`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) is a system service that collects and stores logging data. The `journald` input reads this log data and the metadata associated with it. To read this log data Filebeat calls `journalctl` to read from the journal, therefore Filebeat needs permission to execute `journalctl`.
