Some people prefer to use syslog to collect log files. PostgreSQL offers the following configuration parameters:
# These are relevant when logging to syslog: #syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0' #syslog_ident = 'postgres' #syslog_sequence_numbers = on #syslog_split_messages = on
syslog is pretty popular among sys admins. Fortunately, it is easy to configure. Basically, you set a facility and an identifier. If log_destination is set to syslog, this is already everything there is to do.
