[syslog-ng] help about multiple files in syslog-ng

[Jerry Bell]

You would do something like this:

source s_net {udp();};
destination files {file(/var/log/$HOST.log); };
log {source(s_net); destination(files); };

The value of $HOST is set to the name of the host that the log came from,
so you would get your router1.log, router2.log and router3.log.
