[syslog-ng] syslog file is empty

[Андрей]

I'm using syslog-ng to collect logs from different devices and everything is 
Ok - all log files and directories are created and being written, except 
syslog log files - they are just empty (e.g. /var/log/hostname/syslog size is 
zero). Here is my config:

monitoring:~# cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf 
@version: 3.0
#
# Syslog-ng configuration file, compatible with default Debian syslogd
# installation. Originally written by anonymous (I can't find his name)
# Revised, and rewrited by me (SZALAY Attila <sasa at debian.org>)

# First, set some global options.
options {
        long_hostnames(off);
        flush_lines(0);
        use_dns(persist_only);
        dns_cache_hosts(/etc/hosts);
        use_fqdn(no);
        owner("root");
        group("adm");
        perm(0655);
        keep_hostname(yes);
};

# All messages send to a remote site

#log { source(s_src); destination(d_net); };

Everything seems to be Ok in config, what's wrong? Later I used 2.x version of 
syslog-ng and everything worked.
