[syslog-ng] syslog-ng own logs

[André Larose]

Thank you for your help Sandor, it is much appreciated. 

The documentation is there but the information on internal is so small is missed it. 

However I would like to point the source configuration should be like this:


source s_syslogng {
        internal();
};

Kind regards,
