Nginx: logging to syslog

I need to put Nginx logs to syslog. My Nginx version in 1.6, system - Ubuntu 12.04. In Nginx config I do:

server {
    # some settings here
    access_log  syslog:localhost;
    # and some settings here
}

Make a request with curl:

curl http://localhost/

Get standard Nginx page, but syslog is still empty...

UPD: Problem was fixed after uncommenting in rsyslog.conf following lines:

#$ModLoad imudp
#$UDPServerRun 514

This is the nature of Syslog. In the documentation[1] you see that the default facility is local7. If you have not set a destination for that facility and created the log file, it will not go anywhere.
