Re: Postgres logs to syslog LOCAL0 - Mailing list pgsql-general

I tested LOCAL5 here and got lines like:

    Oct 14 08:41:06 candle postgres[8668]: [1-1] LOG:  duration: 1.210 ms
    statement: select 100;

I don't see any SELECT: entry in there.  In fact, SELECT: is coming from
syslog, not from PostgreSQL.  We only generate the stuff after the
closing ].
