Hi, I have one embedded device running Linux which doesn't have RTC. So it loses date and time after every halt. *uname -a:* *Linux f1 4.9.175+g0746276 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 14 03:09:19 UTC 2020 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux* I have observed after every reboot, my board starts with some older time and my application running in user-space corrects the system time from a timestamp saved on a file (which is updated every hour). Application also connects with some server to get latest time. I have noticed that if system date and time is less than date and time which it had at last shutdown, then syslog doesn't get any logs from my applications till it has a time atleast greater than date and time which it had at last shutdown. My source was "systemd_journal()" and I changed it to "unix-dgram("/dev/log");". However, after changing it to unix-dgram, I don't see any logs even if my system date and time are correct. *"ls -l /dev/log":> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Sep 30 13:28 /dev/log -> /run/systemd/journal/dev-log * *This is my old /etc/syslog-ng/scl.conf* : *@include 'scl/*/*.conf'@define java-module-dir "`module-install-dir`/java-modules"* ******************** This by* *cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf* *@version: 3.15## Syslog-ng configuration file, compatible with default Debian syslogd# installation.
