[syslog-ng] create_dir and "dynamic" destinations.

[VMI X]

Hey Scot,
Have your read the FAQ?
http://campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html

There's a relevant section to what you were asking to achieve, just search
for
"

*Directories with names like "Error", "SCSI", "", are showing up in the
directory that holds the syslogs for the different hosts that we monitor. *
"

I know the title doesn't seem relevant but the response in that sections is
what I used to setup exactly what you were asking, hope that helps.
