I configured CustomLog with a pipe:

I get this message in the error log:

local1.info -t apache2
Is this something that can be fixed? Or am I doing something wrong here?
I think it's a design problem. The last time it was discussed was
"rotatelogs and SIGTERM?
Is there a reason why CustomLog doesn't support logging directly to
syslog like ErrorLog does? Like this:
CustomLog syslog:local1
That would solve my problem (I just want all access log entries to go to
syslog) and also the log rotation problem since Apache wouldn't need to
worry about this anymore. You could configure log rotation completely
outside the scope of Apache.
One limitation that ErrorLog mentions is that the syslog facility is
effectively global, but I don't think that would break the feature.
Would do you think? Are there any other problems with this approach?
