Description

SecAuditLog currently does not allow logging to systemd journal. Or at least that's not documented.

Could you please allow logging to systemd journal?

Might be simple to implement. For example any daemon written in bash just has to do echo message and that will end up in systemd journal. No very special code required in ModSecurity. Just write to stdout/stderr normally. Perhaps SecAuditLog stdout?

Another option might be supporting SecAuditLog /dev/log but /dev/log is not a file, it's a unix domain socket file.
