Package: socklog-run
Version: 2.1.0+repack-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
When run under systemd and runit-run, the socklog-unix service listens
to /dev/log, which means that syslog traffic is stolen from journald and
any logs made to journald directly (possibly quite important to see if
they have been registered directly by systemd) do not appear in socklog
logs.
This can be fixed quite easily by listening to journald's syslog proxy
socket when it is running. See patch below for a tested solution.
To test:
# printf "MESSAGE=hello123\n" | logger --journald
On sucessful test:
# tail /var/log/runit/socklog/user/current
2026-02-21_15:38:12.61211 user.info: Feb 21 15:38:12 logger[7649]: hello123
Thanks!
