They look like they would work for me, however I regard them as "workarounds"
and wanted to see whether anyone knew of a way to do it natively in Apache.
I'm surprised that it appears not to be possible, but thanks to everyone for
their responses so far.

I have been asking something similar a while ago, logggin to something
like influx. I know how to redirect syslog to influx. So if I can
redirect eg ip's and 2XX/4XX to syslog, that would be very interesting.
