I'm seeing the following error while starting rsyslog:
Nov 17 02:01:38 localhost rsyslogd: cannot create '/run/systemd/journal/syslog': Permission denied [v8.24.0-41.el7_7.2]
Nov 17 02:01:38 localhost rsyslogd: imuxsock does not run because we could not aquire any socket [v8.24.0-41.el7_7.2]
Nov 17 02:01:38 localhost rsyslogd: activation of module imuxsock failed [v8.24.0-41.el7_7.2]
With the following denials:
type=AVC msg=audit(1573958708.773:1896): avc: denied { create } for pid=2347 comm="rsyslogd" name="syslog" scontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:syslogd_runtime_t:s0 tclass=sock_file permissive=1
