What kind of secret voodoo does one need to use rsyslog on a systemd system? Is it even possible?
From my notes on making fedora usable:
rsyslog isn't installed by default, so you get no log files you can look at with normal tools. The systemd journal has taken over. To restore sanity:
yum install rsyslog
In /etc/systemd/journald.conf set:
Storage=none ForwardToSyslog=yes
Create a file named /etc/rsyslog.d/sd-socket.conf that contains:
$AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/syslog
Having gotten real log files back, may need to also install logrotate.
The reason that you have to make these changes to rsyslog.conf and journal.conf is that rsyslog is set up to get journal logs by default via its imjournal module. So your changes aren't necessary; unless there's a bug.
