[syslog-ng] Using macro substring as another macro

[Jakub Jankowski]

Hi,

I'd like to implement simple hashing in file() destination, mainly to avoid 
ext3 32k directories limit, but also for convenience. Is it possible to do 
something simliar what this shell snippet does:

$ NAME=value
$ echo ${NAME[*]:0:1}
v
$

but for macros (especially those coming from parsers)?

What I want is logs written to /var/log/h/ho/hos/hostname/service.log (with 
configurable level of subdirs) using a single destination().


Regards,
