[Jim Hendrick]

very simple.

destination d_separatedbyhosts {
  file( "/var/log/$HOST/$HOST.$FACILITY.$SEVERITY.$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY" );
}

(didn't you ask this back in August?)

> Hello all.
> How are you?
> I have a windows sever with Syslog agent installed on it and it forward all logs to my Linux box. My Syslog-NG collected it very well but I want to Forward another Windows Events into my Syslog server but How can I modify my current config file for create another file for this new server? I use Logstash and Kibana on my Linux Box, Can it detect my new Log file automatically?
