Hi,

A quick search in the documentation popped up the following template
function:

    env
    
    Syntax:
    
    $(env <environment-variable>)
    
    Description: Returns the value of the specified environment variable.
    Available in syslog-ng OSE3.5 and later.

So I'd rather use the following in your config:

    destination d_collector {
        udp(
            "$(env COLLECTOR_IP)"
            port(514)
            template("${DATE} ${HOST} ${MSG}")
        );
    };
