Is there some module that tries to log messages (access log) over the  
network by plugging into the core event loop?

I am use Boost.ASIO, GIO of glib etc. etc. but they all start their own  
event loop.

Compile your nginx with syslog support:

Use syslog-ng feature to send packets to loghost.

Hello VT,

i am using ubutu 10.4 Lucid and running nginx 0.8.54. I tried patching  
nginx but it fails. see below. I am trying to use syslog-ng to  
centralize all the logs to one server. I have had no luck so far. I  
have tried the patches mentioned here  
[NGINX 3rd Party Modules | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/Nginx3rdPartyModules) but no luck so far, they all  
error out. would you have any idea, or point o to a right direction.  
Thank you!
