In Arch Linux, Postgres is started by systemd. If you configure logging_collector in postgresql.conf this has no effect. All of the logging output is send to the journal, where you can read it with “journalctl -u postgresql”.

The configuration for systemd contains a StandardError option. I’ve tried various settings but none result in a regular Postgres log file. The Postgres settings for systemd can be found here: /usr/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service

Is there a way to let Postgres do its own logging when it is started by systemd?

Kind regards,
Andomar
