[syslog-ng] timestamp in log files

[Gustavo Mendes de Carvalho]

Hi there,

I don't know why, when I tried to use a template definition, I received 
that error message, but when I used a template statement togheter with 
destination statement, it was OK
destination d_dest-name  { file("/var/log/file.log" template("$UNIXTIME 
$ISODATE $HOST $MSG\n") );   };
