I'd suggest that you look at adding the functionality you are
interested in to the logging collector, rather than putting it
directly in elog.c.  That's pretty much exactly what the logging
collector is designed to do, so you'd be extending or adjusting
existing functionality, rather than reinventing the wheel.
