[syslog-ng] Apache + syslog-ng w/o logger?

[Jim Hendrick]

Would using syslog-ng directly work? (pointing it at the access_log file)

My goal is to enable Apache to log large access_log entries (> 1024 chars)
to a syslog-ng server.  The vast majority of examples I've seen for
connecting Apache to syslog-ng employ the ancient /usr/bin/logger -- but
that approach chops up messages longer than 1024 chars.  The alternative
approach is to use a perl/python script, but I'm nervous about the overhead.
Anyone know of an updated logger binary?

Thanks for any pointers,
-Brian
