I see only one - where are you looking at?
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

To log external sources, I add:
source ext {
udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514));
};
below the existing "source src {... };" section. Later on, I add, for
instance:
filter f_router { host("router"); };
...
destination router { file("/var/log/router"); };
log { source(ext); filter(f_router); destination(router); };

Viewer? I just use plain "less /var/log/file" in an xterm. Or "tailf ..."
for a continuous display with less resources spent.
Viewing the log is a completely diferent task from logging it.
