Reported in the community forum [0]. Since Proxmox VE 8/Debian 12,
rsyslog is not installed by default for new installations anymore [1].
The information gathered by the API call comes from the systemd
journal. While 'Syslog' could be interpreted as a shorthand for
"System Log", it's better to be explicit to avoid any confusion.
In addition, the systemd journal does much more than plain syslog
messages, as argued by Fabian [2].
