Bug#1065638: systemd-journald: systemd-journald restart misses SyslogFacility

[Kai Palomaki]

Package: systemd
Version: 247.3-7+deb11u4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: armando.vamos at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   A systemd service unit "test" has SyslogFacility=local0 set. Service is running and logging lines.
   Log lines have SYSLOG_FACILITY=16 when observed with journalctl -o verbose.
   Restart journald. After restart of journald, log lines have no more SYSLOG_FACILITY=16.
   To restore SYSLOG_FACILITY=16 in journal logs, one has to restart service unit "test".

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   systemctl restart systemd-journald.service

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   journald did not record the SyslogFacility set in the service unit file.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   journald should continue recording SyslogFacility set in the service unit file without needing to restart the service having the SyslogFacility set.
