[Bug 1575337] Re: syslog.log is completely empty

past few months

There was a big merge and new upstream version in February.

> Also, syslog logs that should be on /var/log/syslog are on systemd's
journal

Yes, this is not an either-or. The journal logs dmesg, syslog,
stdout/err from units and other stuff, but syslog() messages also get
forwarded to rsyslog.

If you drop the /etc/maas/rsyslog.d/99-maas file, do you get logs into
/var/log/syslog again? If so, then this is either a regression in
rsyslog or the 99-maas file configures this in a way that current
rsyslog does not understand any more.
