[syslog-ng] Logging console?

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible/wise to log messages sent to the console? Unattended machines without monitors usually report messages during bootup that I never see since they are exclusively directed to the console. During normal operations I believe there are messages that can be sent exclusively to the console (ie: perl -w warning messages when the perl script process is run/forked from a background process without a controlling terminal) and these messages are never seen/logged. I am wondering if I can set the console up as a source for syslog-ng on these machines without monitors?
