Using syslog is not advisable. Qutoe from
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-logging.html
The logging collector is designed to never lose messages. This means
that in case of extremely high load, server processes could be blocked
while trying to send additional log messages when the collector has
fallen behind. In contrast, syslog prefers to drop messages if it cannot
write them, which means it may fail to log some messages in such cases
but it will not block the rest of the system.
Do you really want to lose messages??
