+    in a similar fashion as the property watch directive.
+
+    The journal callback logs the specified message to the systemd journal
+    with the specified severity.
+
+    Additionally, the journal callback will add to the journal key value
+    pair metadata for each property in the specified property group with
+    the key being the property element metadata and the value being the
+    property value.'
