Ok, so MAAS install's an rsyslog config to forward messages from syslog
to /var/log/maas/maas.log. Today we noticed that maas.log was completely
empty, and on further checking, we noticed that syslog was completely
empty as well. The fun fact, however, is that MAAS has not changed its
syslog configuration in years, and we definitely don't believe this is
the problem. Also, this was working before just fine without any issues
before , and as such, we don't believe is a problem on rsyslog.
The interesting thing is that rsyslog hasn't really change much in the
past few months (iother that 2, no change rebuilds). Also, syslog logs
that should be on /var/log/syslog are on systemd's journal.
MAAS config on /etc/maas/rsyslog.d/99-maas:
# Log MAAS messages to their own file.
:syslogtag,contains,"maas" /var/log/maas/maas.log
