I'm having an issue piping apache ssl access logs to my syslog server. I've added the following line to my apache config:

CustomLog "|/usr/bin/nc -u <syslogserver> 514" "<134>%{%b %d %X}t web1 apache %h %l %u %t \"%r\"%>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\""

Which works great for logging the regular access log, however the ssl_access_log doesn't get sent there. What do I have to do to accomplish that?

You need to add the same configuration to the SSL virtual host. If it's a CentOS / RHEL system you need to modify /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf. Go find the section that defines ssl_access_log and have at it.
