Hi Jose,

 

 

You can send specific log messages to a different file using syslog-ng customizations to filters and destinations. The way to implement this changed in 9.4.2. For pre-9.4.2 you can edit the syslog-ng.conf file directly. For 9.4.2 and higher, you can use a syslog include file and bpsh.

 

 

Here are a few related links for syslog-ng:
