In order for the changes I made to syslog.conf to take effect I needed to restart the syslogd process

Yes I could restart my computer but that’s just too much effort.
I found a simple solution using the built in Mac Launch Daemons

~#: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
~#: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist

syslogd will now have reloaded with any config changes you made.
