Hi list,
in openSUSE leap it's no longer possible to install a classic syslog daemon in addition to systemds journald. If I try i run into a package conflict.
In my opinion this doesn’t make sense. Lot's of admins I know, want a classic syslog daemon because they know it and additional the the journald to learn how it works.
What's about journalds "ForwardToSyslog" directive, if we can't use it? You are incorrect here.
Persistant journal on disk is enabled when /var/log/journal directory exists. This directory is packaged in systemd-logger package. This package is also providing "sysvinit(syslog)", to allow to uninstall any syslog implementation for people who wants to rely only on journal.
systemd journald is ALWAYS installed and part of systemd package.
All syslogs implementation packages are conflicting between each other (since you don't want to have syslog-ng and rsyslog running at the same time). This is why systemd-logger is conflicting with rsyslog (or syslog-nh).
If you want both persistent journal AND rsyslog (ie basically writing logs twice), they can just install rsyslog and create /var/log/journal directory manually.
But in your case, just install rsyslog, it will uninstall systemd-logger and you will just loose persistent journal, not journald.
