This doesn't answer your *real* question, but here's how I did the culling:

#  journalctl -u rngd -b 1

Logs begin at Tue 2015-01-13 07:42:13 CET,

[root@snowcrash bin]# journalctl -u rngd -b 1

-- Logs begin at Tue 2013-10-15 14:15:34 MDT, end at Mon 2015-06-29 10:09:59 MDT. --

 "-b 1" means only show logs from the most recent boot, and "-u rngd" means show only logs from the "rngd" unit. I presume I haven't got a hardware entropy device either so the daemon just exits. The real question is why it doesn't work that way for you.

I did figure this out from reading the journalctl man page, so maybe I am a machine too :-)
