I hoped that I could take any name: root@rex2:~>logger -p 'hello.err' hello logger: unknown facility name: hallo.

Syslog facilities are standardized, and fairly well established. Syslog-ng, as a tool, doesn't extend the syslog standard, it's simply a more robust implementation of the syslog standard. Chances are, any extensions you're considering fall fairly well inside established facilities and severities. - billn
