Thank you for your help Sandor, it is much appreciated. The documentation is there but the information on internal is so small is missed it. However I would like to point the source configuration should be like this: source s_syslogng { internal(); }; Kind regards,

I only ?use syslog-ng to capture logs of my in-house applications but not the usual syslog messages, I leave that to the sysadm team. This means when syslog-ng sends messages about itself I am not be able to see them as they end up in the other syslog, ?I think?.
syslog-ng never sends logs to /dev/log unless configured to do so, but uses the internal facility which might missing from your configuration.
I would like to know how I can save to file the logs generated by syslog-ng itself .
using something like this
source s_syslogng { source(internal); };
destination d_syslongng { file("/var/log/syslog-ng.log"); };
log { source(s_syslogng); destination(d_syslogng); };
will do the trick.
