[syslog-ng] freebsd syslog-ng error

[fico gid]

Hi William/All,

Is the configuration below enough for me to log some of my routers ?
157.0.1.1 is my syslog server and im getting logs frm a few routers. I
have added appropriate logging commands on the routers to log to the
syslog server.

--start--
## syslog-ng


source remote {
        unix-stream("/var/run/log"); internal(); pipe("/dev/klog");
        udp(ip(157.0.1.1) port(514));
        tcp(ip(157.0.1.1) port(514) keep-alive(yes));
};

destination std {
        file("/var/log/hosts/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$FACILITY"
owner(root) group(root)
perm(0644) dir_perm(0755) create_dirs(yes));
};

log {
       source(remote);
       destination(std);
};

--end--

Your help is much appreciated.
