This module can replace the syslog logging with sending the log messages to systemd journal. The logging to systemd is started when this module is loaded, before that the default syslog system is used.

It requires that core parameters log_engine_type to be set to 'systemd'. It is not enabled if log_stderror=yes.

This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.
