not do anything like that. You can hack something really ugly using the

<pre wrap="">Hi,
i've looked there already, before posting to mailing list, but i don't
see answer for my question there.
Ok, i saw $HOST macro, but it's not what i'm looking for.
I don't care what `hostname` gives me. For me important thing is
string from file and this string should be used as part of filename.
Or mabye i misunderstand something?
Regards,
p.

in the "macros" section. You can use variables inside the file() statement.
It even has an example doing exactly what youre wanting to do.

Subject: [syslog-ng] composing file names with system varible
Hi,
i've on my machine file with some name, for example:
# cat /var/hostname
smeagol
now i want to have log files like this:
/var/log/smeagol-all.log
if i change content of /var/hostname and then restart syslog-ng,
syslog-ng shoud start logging to files with new name.
is it possible? mabye no directly but with some workaround?
regards,
p.
