[syslog-ng] Stats on destinations with macro's ?

I can’t post the full output but if I look at the dst output there is no stats for my d_file destination but I do see them for others which are remote targets. 

This is the only stats output matching 
/opt/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng-ctl stats   |grep file  

destination;d_file;;a;processed;3780673
