The method t3lib_div::syslog() follows the configuration you have made
in the install tool, right?

There you can read:
[systemLog]
String, semi-colon separated list: Defines one or more logging methods.
Possible methods:
file,<abs-path-to-file>[,<level>];mail,<to>[/<from>][,<level>];syslog,<facility>,[,<level>];error_log[,,<level>].
"file" logs to a file, "mail" sends the log entries via mail, "syslog"
uses the operating system's log, "error_log" uses the PHP error log. The
level is the individual logging level (see [SYS][systemLogLevel].
Facility may be one of LOCAL0..LOCAL7, USER (on Windows USER is the only
valid type).

Why do we need something extra?


Cheers,
Andreas
