Hey Gabriel, We have seen the same behaviour and will hopefully be testing your patch this week. It would be great to have this capability in base as we don't want to install extra packages (i.e. rsyslog) and so far base does everything we need.

Is there a reason for this behaviour ? The diff below fix this, works for me.
