That's a syslog issue, not a PostgreSQL issue. Read your syslog.conf man
pages. For many versions of syslog you use:
local3.*<tab>@host
instead of
local3.*<tab>/var/log/mylogfile
I just used local3 as an example - substitute the syslog facility name to
which you are routing your postgresql messages.
Remember that syslog expects tabs, not spaces between the facility/priority
and the destination (at least in all the syslogs I have used - check your man
pages).
Also be sure that the host is accepting remote syslog messages - most default
setups don't allow this. You will probably need to set a flag to allow remote
message logging.
Cheers,
Steve
