+# Logging
+
+## Overview
+
+The default logging method of Engineblock is logging to `stderr`, which is particularly useful for Docker-based deployments.
+However, logging to `syslog` will still be possible for environments where traditional syslog logging is required.
+
+## Configuring Logging to Syslog
+
+To configure `logging.yml` to log to syslog, you should use the syslog handler in the logging configuration.
+Below is an example configuration:
+
+```yaml
+monolog:
+    channels: ["%logger.channel%", "authentication"]
+    handlers:
+        main:
+            type: fingers_crossed
+            activation_strategy: engineblock.logger.manual_or_error_activation_strategy
+            passthru_level: "%logger.fingers_crossed.passthru_level%"
+            channels: [!authentication]
+            handler: nested
+        authentication:
+            type:      syslog
+            ident:     EBAUTH
+            facility:  user
+            level:     INFO
+            channels:  [authentication]
+            formatter: engineblock.logger.formatter.syslog_json
+        nested:
+            type: syslog
+            ident: "EBLOG"
+            formatter: engineblock.logger.formatter.syslog_json`
+        console:
+            type: console
+            process_psr_3_messages: false
+            channels: [!event, !doctrine, !console]
