Hey Tim, Thanks a lot. Yes it's a unix system. But I'll probably try then to write my own AccessLogValve implementation. No clue, if my skills are sufficient, but I can at least try.

OR if you are using a Unix system you *might* be able to try this kludge: 1) Create a named pipe (using mkfifo) 2) Configure AccessLogValve to NOT rotate and use that named pipe 3) Run a program which reads from the fifo and writes to syslog, for example, this tiny perl script: --- use Sys::Syslog; open(FIFO, "$myFifoFile") ||die "this won't be pretty, $!"; while(<FIFO>) { system('logger', '-t', 'tomcat', '-p', 'local3.info', $_); } close(FIFO); --- -Tim Becker, Thomas, VF-Group wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I've searched the internet and experimented around getting the > following > done: > > I want to have tomcat logging it's access log to syslog. > > I already successfully have catalina.out and all the server's logs > written through log4j, which makes logging to syslog quite easy. > Only the AccessLogValve is causing me headaches.
