Why rsyslog is not able to collect any system logs since upgrade to RHEL8 ?
Issue
- The mail logs are not collected in /var/log/maillog but collected in journal logs.
- The mail activity is showing up in output of systemctl status postfix. I would expect it to show up in /var/log/maillog as well.
- The logs related to mails/postfix are collected by systemd-journald in journal logs but are missing or not collected in /var/log/maillog.
- Why rsyslog is not able to collect any system logs ?
