OK. Where?
That is for Legacy Configuration Directives. You're best to
avoid those anytime you can. (But to be fair, I do think the
rsyslog docs are generally a bit of a pain to use.)

That variable doesn't apply to the imjournal plugin (as far
as I know). Additionally, setting a var in /etc/rsyslog.d/
likely will not apply to all the previous configuration
before it (with plenty of caveats depending on the setting,
of course).
There's an old RHEL bug regarding this and it was fixed in
CentOS Stream 9 not too long ago.

It's best to not post to multiple lists simultaneously, IMO.
You then have to decide which information is the best if you
get replies from both lists. A reply here _may_ be better
as a Fedora-specific solution while a reply from the rsyslog
list _may_ be better as applied to the stock rsyslog. :)
That said, adding FileCreateMode="0644" to the imjournal
parameters should resolve this harmless log entry, e.g.:
diff --git i/rsyslog.conf w/rsyslog.conf
index f6d3f6a..1396c37 100644
--- i/rsyslog.conf
+++ w/rsyslog.conf
@@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ module(load="imuxsock" # provides support for local
system logging (e.g. via
SysSock.Use="off") # Turn off message reception via local log
socket;
# local messages are retrieved through imjournal
now.
module(load="imjournal" # provides access to the systemd
journal
+ FileCreateMode="0644" # Set access permissions for the state
file
StateFile="imjournal.state") # File to store the position in the
journal
# Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/
This change was made in CentOS Stream and RHEL but has not
be pushed to Fedora, unfortunately. It would be ideal if
RHEL followed the "upstream first" mantra.
