Description Maciej Piechotka 2012-11-11 11:50:47 UTC
app-admin/rsyslog .service file does not work with newer sys-apps/systemd as it have line:

ExecStartPre=/bin/systemctl stop systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service

But:

a) systemctl is in /usr/bin 
b) systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service does not exists

Presence of the line result in 100% CPU occupancy from both systemd and journald.

What is "newer" systemd to you please ? Can you provide some versions ?

It started around 100-something-ish. For sure in 195.

To be honest, journald seems to catch all syslog messages for me. Any specific reason to use journald+rsyslog nowadays?

Force of habit I guess and lack of familiarity with journald.

Well, i simply didn't have the time and will to investigate how they broke the world this time. If you know how to fix it, I'd be happy to help.

I came here to pipe external sources into journal:

http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/omjournal.html (we don't have 7.3.7 in tree yet though)

Looks like ebuild is using upstream service files, is this still valid with 7.4.3?

Well, my use case is quite limited:
I only use rsyslog to pipe messages from my modem to systemd's journal.

It works for me with ebuild extended like that:

I'm no user of systemd so I'd love to have some help to provide support for this. Would you please propose a proper way to go for this and propose a patch against latest ebuild maybe ?

Cheers

rsyslog-7.4.3.ebuild.patch

Enables basic 'omjournal' piping subsystem into systemd's journald.

I'll try to setup rsyslog as systemwide logger on monday
on one of my machines to see what else it needs.

Thanks Sergei, I've added this to the current ~arch bump so you can have a better chance to test and give feedback.
