Fixed In Version: systemd-219-19.el7.8 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
In an earlier version, the default value of the ForwardToSyslog parameter was changed and was by default set to "no". Consequently, the rsyslog utility was by default reading data from journal through the imjournal plug-in, in which case forwarding to traditional syslog daemons was not affected. However, if the syslog daemon read messages through the /run/systemd/journal/syslog file, forwarding to traditional syslog daemons was turned off. This update sets the default value of ForwardToSyslog to "yes" to prevent the described behavior from occurring.
