There isn't anything specific to syslog-ng with Cisco routers. Syslog and syslog-ng can both capture output from cisco routers, but you have to configure the router for that. Look on cisco's site on how to set up the router to log to a remote host. Pretty easy. Once you've gotten the router sending the data, and the remote host accepting the data, then you can tweak syslog-ng or syslog to do your bidding. I use syslog-ng specifically because it has the nice macro facility that will create files as messages of a specific priority are received by the host. I don't think syslog will even create files. Using destination router { file(router.$PRIORITY)}; it will create router.err for error messages, and so on. I hope that helps. I figured I'd put in my .02.
