OK. Where? That is for Legacy Configuration Directives. You're best to avoid those anytime you can. (But to be fair, I do think the rsyslog docs are generally a bit of a pain to use.) > * I created a conf file in /etc/rsyslog.d/ with "$FileCreateMode 0600."

That variable doesn't apply to the imjournal plugin (as far as I know). Additionally, setting a var in /etc/rsyslog.d/ likely will not apply to all the previous configuration before it (with plenty of caveats depending on the setting, of course). There's an old RHEL bug regarding this and it was fixed in CentOS Stream 9 not too long ago. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2181552 https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-949 https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/rsyslog/-/commit/129bf49 > Where should this variable be set and what's the correct syntax?

You then have to decide which information is the best if you get replies from both lists. A reply here _may_ be better as a Fedora-specific solution while a reply from the rsyslog list _may_ be better as applied to the stock rsyslog. :) That said, adding FileCreateMode="0644" to the imjournal parameters should resolve this harmless log entry, e.g.: diff --git i/rsyslog.conf w/rsyslog.conf index f6d3f6a..1396c37 100644 --- i/rsyslog.conf +++ w/rsyslog.conf @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ module(load="imuxsock" # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via SysSock.Use="off") # Turn off message reception via local log socket; # local messages are retrieved through imjournal now. module(load="imjournal" # provides access to the systemd journal + FileCreateMode="0644" # Set access permissions for the state file StateFile="imjournal.state") # File to store the position in the journal # Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/ This change was made in CentOS Stream and RHEL but has not be pushed to Fedora, unfortunately. It would be ideal if RHEL followed the "upstream first" mantra. -- Todd
