With newer versions, it would create files like `syslog-2018-05-30.log`. No `.0`, `.1` or the like would be appended. That's a convention of logrotate. With syslog-ng, you get filenames that match the template, they will have nothing appended or prepended that is not in the filename template. -- |8]
