I don't quite understand the "tagging other log files" part, I'm afraid
(but my rsyslog knowledge is... *ahem* lacking). Could you perhaps share
the rsyslog config with us?

We could then see about how to convert it to a similar syslog-ng.conf.

(By the way, an rsyslog.conf->syslog-ng.conf converter has been
requested before, and one of these days, I might get around to write it,
especially if there's bigger interest in such a tool.)
