One helpful comment would have been to set SyslogIdentifier in the unit
file.

This doesn't address the fact that the PID is missing from the syslog
entries so I believe my statement about exporting and backing up the
journal is correct.

I would also argue that part of upgrading is adapting our processes to the
"new world", which means journal-centric logging on CentOS 7. The journal
is the source and syslog is deprecated, just like init scripts are
deprecated by unit files.

The main point I am trying to make is that it ain't easy and it could be.
