[syslog-ng]include file feature?

[Ardo van Rangelrooij]

Hi,

I've taken a different more flexible approach (based on what's become common 
practice in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution:  I've created a directory called 
'syslog-ng.d' and in that directory I've put syslog-ng configuration file 
sniplets.  The basis set consists of the following:

  - one containing a comment header
  - one for global options
  - one for syslog-ng itself (using internal())
  - one for using localhost as source
  - one containing a comment trailer

Each sniplet has a name of '<digit><digit><sniplet nmae>' to enforce a certain 
order.  In the syslog-ng start-stop script I then do

   cat syslog-ng.d/* >syslog-ng.conf

upon a start and reload.  Any application that has logging needs just puts the 
appropriate configuration sniplet in the syslog-ng.d directory and does a reload 
of syslog-ng.  Updating a sniplet goes similar.

Thanks,
Ardo
