logging_collector
A server parameter determining whether to enable the logging collector
logging_collector is a server parameter| determining whether to enable the logging collector, a background process which captures stderr output and redirects it to a log file.
logging_collector was added in PostgreSQL 8.3.
Default value
The default value for logging_collector is: false.
Usage
By default, PostgreSQL emits log output to stderr, however unless using the syslog facility, it is generally desirable to use the logging collector to systematically capture log output into a log file.
The following server parameters are only effective if logging_collector is set to true:
log_directorylog_filenamelog_file_modelog_rotation_agelog_rotation_sizelog_truncate_on_rotation
