[ptxdist] rsyslog does not work with systemd 189

[ptxdist] rsyslog does not work with systemd 189

[Schenk, Gavin]

Hi,

rsyslog does not work with systemd 189. One cause is the systemd unitfile delivered with rsyslog.
It looks like:

<SNIP>
[Unit]
Description=System Logging Service

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/systemctl stop systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service
ExecStart=@sbindir@/rsyslogd -n -c6
Sockets=syslog.socket
StandardOutput=null
</SNIP>

But in newer systemd environments it should look like:
[Unit]
Description=System Logging Service
Requires=syslog.socket

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/syslog-ng -n
StandardOutput=null

[Install]
Alias=syslog.service
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service does not exist anymore and this leads to infinite errors during bootup. I had a look to newer versions of rsyslog, but even in rsyslog 7.1.3 the rsyslog.service.in looks the same old way.

I am not sure what is the best way to fix this? Meantime I use a local patch in my project.

I have currently the same problem, can you share your Patch until a final solution?

Hi,

without any warranty :D ...
I´m not sure if I can attach files to this mail, but i´ll give it a try.

Attached you hopefully find a file named patch_rsyslog-5.8.12.tgz.

Put this file into $(PTXDIST_PROJECTDIR)/patches and extract it with:
tar -xzvf patch_rsyslog-5.8.12.tgz

Rebuild your rsyslog package with:
./ptxdist clean rsyslog
./ptxdist targetinstall rsyslog

The patch just removes the line
ExecStartPre =/bin/systemctl stop systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service
and adds
Requires=syslog.socket
in rsyslog.service.in

Hope this helps!

Regards
Gavin

Are you sure that you need "Requires=syslog.socket"?

I have tried it and it doesn't work. It seems to be work if i remove the previous configline.
Otherwise the service failed due this: A dependency job failed. See system journal for details.

Hi,

> Are you sure that you need "Requires=syslog.socket"?

Please have a look here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/syslog

cit.: "Newer systemd versions (v35+) do not support non-socket-activated syslog daemons anymore and we do no longer recommend people to order their units after syslog.target"

I also needed the syslog.service -> rsyslog.service 'alias' symlink, or
rsyslog is not started.
Anyways, I've committed all this to ptxdist master. Please test if it works
now.

I have tried it on our system and now with the symlink it works, too. Thanks!
