[Problem] When specifying a customized pos_file for in_systemd plugin, the value gets ignored.

[Version] gem 'fluent-plugin-systemd' version '1.0.2'

[Config]

  <source>
    @type systemd
    filters [{"_SYSTEMD_UNIT":"docker.service"}]
    pos_file /var/log/k8s-gcp-journald-docker.pos
    read_from_head true
    tag "docker"
  </source>

[Warnings in the log]

Ah, in fact this is out-of-date. I think I just need to use https://docs.fluentd.org/storage.

Yes with the current version of the plugin you can just use any storage plugin
