one:~# service rsyslog status
rsyslog.service - System Logging Service
	  Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service; disabled)

Ahh.....why the hell it did not appear with systemctl list-units -a ?

After systemctl enable rsyslog.service:

one:~# systemctl list-units -a --full | grep log
console-kit-log-system-start.service loaded active   exited        Console System Startup Logging
netconsole.service        loaded inactive dead          LSB: Initializes network console logging

syslog.target             loaded active   active        Syslog


rebooting now....
