yes something similar .. but instead of the day, month can we do it based on the size. say once it crosses 1 GB , archive it and have a new log file created. Can we do this from syslog-ng ?

If you use something like:

destination hosts {
            file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY/$FACILITY"

It would rotate the client files daily by creating a new folder within the year,month, but you'd need to clear up the files yourself if you're not intending on keeping them, is that what you are after?

I am using the syslog-ng 3.3.7 version. My question is , can we manage log rotation within the syslog-ng conf file ?
