[syslog-ng] Setting and using variables

[Fabien Wernli]

I think you're misunderstanding the template concept.
A template is there to tell syslog-ng in what format each message will be
written to the destination.

I might be misunderstanding, but if you want the same template, different
files but only one destination, this could be what you want:

          template my_template {
            template("$DATE $HOST $PROGRAM $MESSAGE\n");
          };

					destination d_file {
					    file(
					      "/var/log/remote/backup/$location/$HOST/$app/${HOST}_$app.log"
					      template(my_template)
					    );
					};
