If you look at a distro like Debian, which runs rsyslog under systemd, you'll see that it simply ships a generic /etc/rsyslog.conf. You just need to make sure to install and enable the rsyslog.service file that is provided by rsyslog. The magic bits are: [Unit] Requires=syslog.socket ... [Alias] Alias=syslog.service This will make systemd start rsyslog if there is activity on /dev/log and start rsyslog.service, passing it the syslog socket in the LISTEN_FDS env variable, where rsyslog will pick it up automatically. I'm happy to go into more detail, if there is interest.
