He already said he isn't. He just was looking for the wrong filename.

Well, the journal only contains stuff sent to it. So, if apache dumps
some stuff to stdout or to /dev/log or whatever then it will be in the
journal. If apache dumps its logs directly to a file in
/var/log/apache then the journal won't contain it. Many files in
/var/log were not created by syslog-ng, and this would not show up in
the journal.

You'd need to use a systemd-aware log watcher.
