yes, i have this setup. here is the examples from my conf with the 
plaintext section:

destination hosts {
        file("/var/log/syslogs/$HOST.$FACILITY"
        owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700)
        create_dirs(yes));
};
log { source(client_tcp); destination(hosts); };
log { source(client_udp); destination(hosts); };
