Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. configure 'log_type' to be 'syslog',
  2. wait for warning
Expected behaviour

This is one of the defined ways to log system messages, so everything should be fine

Actual behaviour

Visible message:
Information Logreader File-based logging must be enabled to access logs from the Web UI. Your log_typeis currently set to: [syslog]. If you feel this is an error, please verifylog_type in your config.php and check the Nextcloud Administration Manual. This is not an actual log entry.

Research direction

Reproduce the warning after configuring log_type as syslog, then trace the Web UI message that says file-based logging must be enabled. Verify the behavior against the Administration Manual's supported logging types; done means syslog no longer produces this misleading warning.
