I just spent the last half hour learning syslog and log rolling with postgres. Would there be objections to me expanding on the syslog sections in the docs?
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/logfile-maintenance.html
I want to:
* Add a link to the third paragraph there where it says to set syslog to 2 that goes to the syslog section of the SET parameters page.
* Give an example of how to configure your syslog.conf to log to a separate postgres log. eg:
"Depending on your system, to have syslog log PostgreSQL entries to a particular file, add something like this to the top of your /etc/syslog.conf:
# Log all 'postgres' events to /var/log/pgsql !postgres *.* /var/log/pgsql # Nothing after this line applies to 'postgres' !-postgres "
* Mention that you might want to turn log_pid and log_timestamp off since syslog logs them anyway
* Mention something about system log rotator? Or is that too platform-specific?
