I'm trying to setup rclone logging to systemd, because I use it in a python script that logs to systemd, I'm using a local filesystem, folder test has two files a and b; folder test2 is empty.
If I change --log-systemd flag to --log-file=file.txt the log appears correctly in the log-file.
I'm running rclone as a normal user, from the bash terminal.
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
rclone v1.56.0
os/version: arch 21.1.3 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 5.13.16-xanmod1-MANJARO (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.16.6
go/linking: dynamic
go/tags: none
Whicnoh OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Manjaro GNOME, 64 bit
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Local storage
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone sync test test2 -vv --log-systemd
and then
journalctl -r
I also tried journaclt -r | grep someexpressionthatshowedupinthelogfile
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Ps: To help out in parameter exclusion, I've tried the same command with a local storage configured using rclone conf, here are the results:
Command:
rclone sync test test2 -vv --log-systemd
and
journalctl -r
rclone.conf

Another update:
Commands: rclone ls onedrive: -vv --log-systemd rclone ls onedrive: -vv --log-file=t.txt
Logs show up in the log-file but not on systemd. Here's the contents of test.txt:
2021/09/21 23:09:09 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.56.0" starting with parameters ["rclone" "ls" "onedrive:" "-vv" "--log-file=t.txt"]

The log-from command line basically the contents of test.txt plus a million files listed, that's why I won't post it here.
Thank you @Animosity022, I will definitely follow that, now I feel kinda embarassed .
But if I may say, the documentation on the website might need some updating:
In Global Flags, --log-systemd is listed as a flag that is available for every command, but in reality it only does something if you use commands mount and rcd.
