For all our daemons, we provide VIRXXXD_ARGS env var in the unit file. The variable can then be overridden in corresponding file: EnvironmentFile=-@initconfdir@/virtxxxd The daemon is then executed as: ExecStart=@sbindir@/virtxxxd $VIRTXXXD_ARGS But virlogd is exception, for no good reason. And while there are probably no arguments we want to pass to virtlogd by default, just mimic what we do for say virtlockd, where we also don't pass any default argument.
