Actually, you can format the log file almost any way you want it,
otherwise I suspect you get a default format. See
/usr/share/doc/packages/syslog-ng/html/x359.html#AEN362. Here is the
example from that file:
destination d_file {
file("/var/log/$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY/messages"
template("$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC $TZ $HOST [$LEVEL]
$MSG $MSG\n")
template_escape(no)
);
};
There is a rather large number of macros that can be used both to name a
log file and to format that file.
See /usr/share/doc/packages/syslog-ng/html/book1.html for the complete
documentation.
