Look at http://www.balabit.com/dl/guides/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en.pdf in the "macros" section. You can use variables inside the file() statement. It even has an example doing exactly what youre wanting to do.

Hi,
i've on my machine file with some name, for example: # cat /var/hostname smeagol
now i want to have log files like this: /var/log/smeagol-all.log
if i change content of /var/hostname and then restart syslog-ng, syslog-ng shoud start logging to files with new name.
is it possible? mabye no directly but with some workaround?
