The forwarding itself is namespaced. ForwardToSyslog relies on the syslogd daemon setting up a receiving socket at /run/systemd/journal/syslog through which journald will send the messages – but for namespaced journald, the runtime directory is different (the point of it being namespaced) so the syslogd needs to set up an additional socket at /run/systemd/journal.my-namespace/syslog as well.
(Though are you sure the system was using ForwardToSyslog, and not some other method? The default configuration of both rsyslog and syslog-ng no longer uses this forwarding style, instead the syslogd directly imports messages from .journal files – which again needs the syslogd to be configured to read from the namespaced path in addition to the default path.)

Hi maintainers,I am trying to get syslog forwarding working with a journal namespace I created for my application.My system is on Debian 11, systemd 247 (247.3-7+deb11u1)Originally, my service used the default namespace and forwarding to syslog was working. After creating a journal namespace and assigning my service to it with LogNamespace=my-namespace now the logs from my application do not get forwarded to syslog. I have made sure /etc/systemd/journald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx exists and contains the setting ForwardToSyslog=yes. I actually just copied the default config at /etc/systemd/journal.conf which has forwarding enabled by default. I can see the logs in the journal with journalctl --namespace my-namespace.I haven't seen any bugs reported on this so I must be missing something.Regards,Aaron
