[syslog-ng] Query regarding syslog-ng.conf and creation of logging files

[Ankit Mahawar]

Hi,

Please help  regarding doubts of syslog-ng.conf file

 1 . The destination files specified in syslog-ng.conf is created by
syslog-ng ??

 2.  If they are created by syslog-ng then , are they created only when the
log gets filtered for that destination file ?

 3 . Does this happen in syslog as well,because I think in syslog the file
gets created even before logging into the file

I am new to syslog utilities and it is just my assumption that the files
might be created using the conf file ,because when I killed syslog daemon
and restarted it ,the file I removed got created again but not in the case
of syslog-ng.


Please help regarding this issue .

Thanks
Ankit
