Based on https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/push-jobs/pull/87, now the service is configured using systemd

[tas50]

Your logs are now going to use journald as the service is running via the native systemd init provider

@tas50 Thank you for the pointer. The journald logs do not contain output from the command ran (like chef-client), which was the default behaviour in the previous versions. Thanks

The workaround we found is to redirect the chef-client logs into a separate file. Modify /etc/chef/client.rb:

#Add below line to change log level and location 
log_level                     :info
log_location    "/var/log/chef.log"
