Send apache mod_security log to graylog

Graylog Central (peer support)
1

what I need to achieve is, having apache requests be logged in my graylog. I already accomplished this task, and here is part of my apache vhost which is related to this task .

LogFormat "{ \"version\": \"1.1\", \"host\": \"%V\", \"short_message\": \"%r\", \"timestamp\": %{%s}t, \"level\": 6, \"_user_agent\": \"%{User-Agent}i\", \"_source_ip\": \"%{X-Forwarded-For}i\", \"_duration_usec\": %D, \"_duration_sec\": %T, \"_request_size_byte\": %O, \"_http_status_orig\": %s, \"_http_status\": %>s, \"_http_request_path\": \"%U\", \"_http_request\": \"%U%q\", \"_http_method\": \"%m\", \"_http_referer\": \"%{Referer}i\", \"_from_apache\": \"true\" }" graylog_access
CustomLog "|/bin/nc -u 192.168.50.21 12201" graylog_access

but I realized I don’t have post request body in my log. I searched through internet and I came up with installing apache mod_security and sending it’s log to my graylog and here is my modsecurity config:
