<h2><a name="examples" id="examples">Examples</a></h2>
<p>Using <code>syslog</code> in ErrorLog directive (see <code class="module"><a href="/mod/core.html">core</a></code>)
instead of a filename enables logging via syslogd(8) if the system supports it.
The default is to use syslog facility <code>local7</code>,
but you can override this by using the <code>syslog:<var>facility</var></code>
syntax where <var>facility</var> can be one of the names usually documented in
syslog(1). The facility is effectively global, and if it is changed
in individual virtual hosts, the final facility specified affects the
entire server.</p>
