[syslog-ng]Log Rotation

[Dan Edwards]

Add a destination using macros.  Here is an example destination.

destination d_example  { file("/var/logs/$HOST/$HOST.$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY.txt"); };

That would put the data in a file based on the name of the device sending it and the current date.  Example ("/var/logs/device1/device1.2003-06-07.txt").  It doesn't per say rotate the log but it will give you new logs based off day/month etc..
