[syslog-ng] Syslog-NG directory name with IP address instead of hostname

[Justin B]

destination r_dest  {
file("/u01//$HOST_FROM/messages.$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY.$HOUR"
owner(root) group(test) perm(0640)
template("|${S_FULLDATE}|${ETYPE}|${EHOSTNAME}|${ESOURCE}|${EOUTCOME}|${EMSG}|${EUSERID}\n")
 );    };

Here you go..

Also how to control the java stack trace exception that I receive in EMSG
COLUMN  in the above.
