You haven't said that you're familiar with templates and macros in
syslog-ng, so I'll point you towards the docs:

http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html#template

http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-admin-guide_en.html/ch03s07.html

If you have trouble making templates work, send your configs and errors to
the list along with a description of what you're trying to accomplish.
