[syslog-ng] Collecting logs from a chrooted appli

It doesn't matter whether the file is in the chroot or not as
syslog-ng shouldn't know anything about the chroot.

I'm not sure but you should use the 2.0 line of syslog-ng, see
the follow_freq() option - it might help in cases where the
file isn't in place during syslog-ng startup.

BTW does you application append to its logfile or it creates a
new file when it starts?
