I think my syslog-ng.cfg is a little unconventional because I've configured for each log file a file statement and a uniq program name to keep the filenames from the client on the server. The cfg I've attached bellow is only a small part of it because I can't show you everything. In the original syslog-ng.cfg I've configured about 120 individual log files.

These appear to be fragments of the periodic syslog-ng stats stuff. As a
qucik workaround, you may want to handle internal() messages
differently.

I'll try to have a closer look soon, but it's definitely something
related to internal messages.
