In the upstart case, simply removing the "stop on runlevel [06]" clause
is enough to capture the log output of the shutdown sequence.

Title:
  rsyslog not omitted by sendsigs when managed by upstart/systemd

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When rsyslog is managed by the init script, it symlinks its PID to
  /run/sendsigs.omit.d so that we can capture logs very late during the
  shutdown sequence:

  sendsigs_omit() {
    OMITDIR=/run/sendsigs.omit.d
    mkdir -p $OMITDIR
    ln -sf $PIDFILE $OMITDIR/rsyslog
  }

  When rsyslog is managed by upstart this functionality is lost. I
  quickly looked in Xenial's package and it seems this functionality is
  also absent when run through systemd.

  
  P.S.: I'm trying to investigate a reboot sequence taking ~forever but for which I have 0 log of the actual shutdown sequence:

  Nov 10 22:00:46 node9 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="7.4.4" x-pid="1603" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] exiting on signal 15.
  Nov 10 22:55:25 node9 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="7.4.4" x-pid="1935" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] start

  This 55 minutes gap caused of lot of stress as the machine is a big
  iron in a DC far away.
