You could modify your /etc/init.d/syslog-ng script to concatenate the conf.d files into a "master" configuration file and then start syslog-ng. I like the feature request, but until it is implimented, my suggestion might get you by. Evan. JP Senior wrote:

I'm finding that I'm in need of a recursive conf.d-like configuration folder for syslog-ng.

The reason I'm asking this is because I have many hosts, each requiring a separate configuration from the other, and my syslog-ng.conf file is getting pretty large, messy, and unmanageable.

If it could iterate/enumerate /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d and add each of those to the 'running' config, that would be amazing.

I think this could also work, in a less versatile function, by an 'include' statement in syslog-ng.conf.

Ie:

include { includefile(/etc/syslog-ng/extra/hostname.conf); };

Am I on the right track, or is there a function to do this? :)
