/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog.socket suggests: # The default syslog implementation should make syslog.service a # symlink to itself, so that this socket activates the right actual # syslog service. # # Examples: # # /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service # /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service # # Best way to achieve that is by adding this to your unit file # (i.e. to rsyslog.service or syslog-ng.service): # # [Install] # Alias=syslog.service metalog.service does not appear to do this. Reproducible: Always
Thanks, I pushed a change to fix this.
