Hello all!

As per the systemd-journald man page,

It creates and maintains
structured, indexed journals based on logging information that is received from a variety of sources:
Simple system log messages, via the libc syslog(3) call

Unfortunately I did not find any configuration parameter to make systemd-journald listen on a unix/network socket for syslog messages, making me high suspicious of this claim.

So final question is -- How do you make journald listen for syslog messages via syslog protocol?

See the systemd-journal-dev-log.socket unit on your system (it's mentioned in that manpage). This socket is passed to journald when it's started. The socket unit should be enabled and acive on any standard systemd installation.

Yes, I got that socket (/run/systemd/journal/dev-log).

However /dev/log is not present (it's not made by default) and ss -xnlp does not list /run/systemd/journal/dev-log or it's corresponding inode as being listened by any program.

Anyway, thanks for helping out. I've made the /dev/log symlink and now it works.
