It would be great to send the logs to a syslogserver.

At first "openhab.log".
But all logs would be nice, too. :)

since the logback library can "speak" syslog by using the SyslogAppender 
(http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html#SyslogAppender) this should be 
just a matter of configuration (logback.xml / log back_debug.xml).

Would be great to learn from your experience.

for now i would like to close this issue as the requirement can be achieved by 
using existing mechanisms. If there is still something missing from your point 
of view please feel free to open this issue again.

fyi: I got it working.

You just need to add some lines to your logback.xml.

Like:
<appender name="SYSLOG" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender">
  <syslogHost>localhost</syslogHost>
  <facility>AUTH</facility>
  <suffixPattern>{}openhab: [%thread] %logger %msg</suffixPattern>
</appender>

<root level="INFO">
  <appender-ref ref="SYSLOG" />
</root>
