Description

Currently, the fuseki.service logs to journalctl, which is the systemd default mechanism, and not to any fuseki-specific log file. Since I want to have (and probably keep) such files, I've followed a solution on stackoverflow and added

StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=fuseki

which logs to rsyslog. A /etc/rsyslog.d/fuseki.conf file then defines the actual log location:

if $programname == 'fuseki' then /var/log/fuseki/stderrout.log
if $programname == 'fuseki' then stop

which worked nicely. I suppose it could be useful for others, too. What do you think?
