PostgreSQL has had syslog support since version 7.x, with programmable facility information in /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf. It's commented out by default; looking at a C4 server that has 7.4.30: #syslog = 0 # range 0-2; 0=stdout; 1=both; 2=syslog #syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0' #syslog_ident = 'postgres' (I don't have syslogging enabled for that box for PostgreSQL) Sometimes it's still nice to see the stdout and stderr, though. And I don't recall when or if remote support was added; 7.4 was the last version I actively maintained the RPMs for, and the 8.x databases I have running aren't using syslog.
