12.3. Configuring Logging to Journal

You can configure Satellite to manage logging with Journal. Journal then forwards log messages to rsyslog and rsyslog writes the log messages to /var/log/messages. Note that after this change the log messages do not appear in /var/log/foreman/production.log or /var/log/foreman-proxy.log any more.

For more information about Journal, see Using the Journal in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 System Administrator’s guide.
