systemd version the issue has been seen with

232

Used distribution

Arch linux, installed with 2017.01.01, up to date as of 2017/01/22

Steps to reproduce the problem

add the following to /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/fwtty12.conf:

[Journal]
MaxLevelConsole=debug
TTYPath=/dev/tty12
ForwardToConsole=yes

restart journald to have it pick up new config

press alt-sysrq-h

Expected behaviour you didn't see

a help message for magic sysrq should show up in the logs forwarded by journald to tty12

Unexpected behaviour you saw

no magic sysrq help message on tty12

The help message reaches journald, as it's visible when you do journalctl -k or journalctl -a. I don't really see any other console-related config options in man journald.conf.
