Ubuntu 16.04 journald forwarding to syslog seems lagged
I'm seeing an issue where the copying/forwarding of journal messages to /var/log/syslog seems to be delayed:
theuser@host:/etc/systemd$ sudo journalctl -n 1 && sudo tail -n 1 /var/log/syslog
-- Logs begin at Wed 2018-12-12 09:52:03 CST, end at Fri 2018-12-14 08:41:20 CST. --
Dec 14 08:41:20 host sudo[26760]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by theuser(uid=0)
Dec 14 07:40:12 host sudo[2574]: *log message snipped*
I've confirmed that /etc/systemd/journald.conf has not set ForwardToSyslog=no (the default value of yes is presumably being used).
The problem appears sporadically, and usually seems to be resolved by rebooting, but I was hoping to maybe get some suggestions on what I should check into / what might be causing this so I could poke around on a system currently experiencing the issue.
One other piece of probably-relevant information is that I'm using rsyslog to forward logs from /var/log/syslog to an external log aggregation service.
