Summary of the Pull Request
Add 'journalctl --vacuum' to the CommandLine Contains selection in order to also detect the deletion of system logs via the command 'journalctl' with either the parameter 'vacuum-size' or 'vacuum-time'. Since systemd is the most prevalent init-System in Linux and journald is the destination for syslogs in systemd, this addition should add a layer of security.
