Syslog-ng doesn't rotate logs, not in the way I think you mean it. It is
a feature of syslog-ng that it can be configured to log each day's
messages in a different file, but that's not rotation, that's building
up log archives.

Different OS's come with different mechanisms to rotate logs, meaning
you move the current logfiles to a new file, and reload or restart the
syslog daemon in order to write to new files. Linux usually uses
"logrotate", Solaris has a script called "newsyslog", and I don't have
much idea about others.

You'll need to ask in a forum specific to your OS if you need more than
that.
