The branch is based on your other branch for syslog destination. Why?
AFAICS they are not interconnected and can be submitted separately.
Please re-base on 2.0 so that we can push this first.

I prefer not to use labels when I can. This place can be easily
rewritten without the goto:

	enum say_logger_type type = SAY_LOGGER_STDERR; /* default */
	const char *log = cfg_gets("log");
	if (log != NULL && say_parse_logger_type(&log, &type) < 0) {
		tnt_raise(ClientError, ER_CFG, "log",
			  diag_last_error(diag_get())->errmsg);
	}
	if (type == SAY_LOGGER_SYSLOG) {
		...

This is OK.

The error message would look like:

	Incorrect value for option 'log, log_format': incompatible values

Note 'log, log_format' in quotes and 'option' in singular. Looks ugly.
Let's rewrite it so that it looks like:

	Incorrect value for option 'log_format': 'json' can't be used with syslog logger

or something like that.

Ditto: please beautify the error message.

say_set_log_format() is called twice, which doesn't look right.

Ideally, the error message should look exactly like the one emitted by
box_check_say(). May be, you could simply call box_check_say() from
box_set_log_format()?

I guess if you called box_check_say() from box_set_log_format(), you
could simply add some assertions making sure that log format is
compatible with logger type instead of allowing this function to return
an error.

panic() seems to be missing.

I think you should print logger_syntax_reminder instead, just like
log_create() does. You could remove diag_set from log_create() then.

I expect you to add some more tests that would check all the cases
I mentioned in the ticket.
