Hum, I don't want log in a directory but i wan't log the content of a directory.

 

This directory change with the apparition of new files every second and i must redirect this flow thruth a syslog-ng client to a syslog-ng serveur and this server organize data with the rules you describe.

Are you unable to use the syslog-ng facility for constructing the pathname
of the logfile?  It allows things like:

destination d_auth { file("/logs/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/seclog-$YEAR-$MONTH$DAY"); };

and there's a *lot* of other variables you can include in there.  Or am I
totally failing to understand the problem?
