Greetings!
I have looked for this information elsewhere but have not found it, thus
I bring it to the community.
I have two questions regarding the syslog-ng configuration file;
#1.) Is there an "include" statement to grab additional configuration
parameters, similar to httpd.conf or named.conf? I suspect the answer
is no. I am responsible for a couple of syslog-ng implementations that
have gotten to be huge and working with a single file is getting to be a
problem.
#2.) I would like to state functions such as "greater than" and "less
than" for logging levels/priorities. This functionality is available in
the BSD syslogd and some others, but I am not aware of any such thing in
syslog-ng. I can't imagine that this hasn't come up before. To get
around this, I made a an ugly 55-line syslog-ng configuration with
filters to which I can reference, but I really don't want them all in my
syslog-ng.conf, thus question number 1.
I did google around and found these articles, in reference to question
number 1;

But that's about it.
Thanks for reading. Flog me if I need to RTFM.
