[syslog-ng] logging facility in log file

[Geller, Sandor (IT)]

Hi,

> root: sunjing test 1

> "local6:warn" is what I wanted in the log file....could you help?

Sorry, I forgot that the doc doesn't provide too much details about
macro usage. You can use these macros in templates too, for example:

destination d_something {
  file( "/var/log/something"
    template("$ISODATE $FACILITY:$PRIORITY $MSG\n";
  );
};

Regards,

Sandor
