Hi,
 
I have installed Postgres 8.2.5 on windows xp machine using the windows installer. I am trying to enable syslogs on Postgres so that all Postgress logs should be forwarded Syslog server. I have installed Syslog server WinSyslog on the same machine.
 
I have modified 'log_destination' parameter value in postgresql.conf to 'syslog'. However, the database server fails to start and print following error message:
 
FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "log_destination": "syslog"
 
 
Also, I want to know how can I forward logs to a syslog server installed on a machine different from database server's machine.
 
Any help/ pointer is much appreciated.
 
Regards
Gaurav
