+In particular, redirecting stdout/stderr to syslog no longer require

+To specify a particular facility, use the fully qualified
+facility.priority argument to the stdout or stderr statement, e.g.:

+The statement configures the socket to communicate with the syslog
+daemon. Its argument is either the file name of the local socket

+ syslog {
+ dev 172.31.255.252;
