Hi,

if you mean that you want to send the contents of logfiles to a central server 
then you have to create file sources and add them to the log path that sends the 
messages to the logserver.

Check 
http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.3-guides/syslog-ng-ose-v3.3-guide-admin-en.html/configure_clients.html
and

HTH.
