The simplest production-grade approach to managing log output is to
send it all to <application>syslog</> and let
<application>syslog</> deal with file rotation. To do this, set the
- configurations parameter <literal>syslog</> to 2 (to log to
+ configurations parameter <literal>log_destination</> to 'syslog' (to log to
<application>syslog</> only) in <filename>postgresql.conf</>. Then
you can send a <literal>SIGHUP</literal> signal to the
<application>syslog</> daemon whenever you want to force it to

- <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> allows the use of
- <systemitem>syslog</systemitem> for logging. If this option is
- set to 1, messages go both to <systemitem>syslog</> and the
- standard output. A setting of 2 sends output only to
- <systemitem>syslog</>. (Some messages will still go to the
- standard output/error.) The default is 0, which means
- <systemitem>syslog</> is off. This option must be set at server
- start.
+ <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> supports several methods
+ for loggning, including <systemitem>stderr</systemitem> and
+ <systemitem>syslog</systemitem>. On Windows,
+ <systemitem>eventlog</systemitem> is also supported. Set this
+ option to a list of desired log destinations separated by a

+ only. This option must be set at server start.
