[syslog-ng] syslog-ng logging with wrong year

[Jean-Sebastien Pilon]

Hello, 

We have a log collector receiving logs from several nodes and it is
logging in the wrong $YEAR directory every 1st of the month for some
host for about 2 minutes...

We have 75 nodes sending logs, and we have a directory created under
/var/log/hosts/2007/*/01/hostname for about 3-4 host. 

As you can see below, the folder 01 (January 1st) was created at 23:59
on December 31st... Same thing for Feb. 1st to now...


/var/log/hosts/2007/01# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-31 23:59 01


Here are my destination and log rules


destination d_local
{
        file("/var/log/hosts/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST");
};

log
{
        source(s_tcp);
        source(s_udp);
        source(s_local);
        destination(d_local);
};


Any one has any idea why this is happening?
