syslog-ng configuration file for client

Here is the example of syslog-ng configuration file for a client. 
Please note that this client is not configured to work together with syslog-ng server from  this example .  
I guess they could, but I wrote these two pages totally separately with two different logging strategies. 

Anyway, they should still help you to get better understanding of syslog-ng and to learn on other people's ideas and examples. 

You can see that client doesn't have source to login from a network. 
There are many destinations, like console, sending message to root and logged-in user, local files and of course remote centralizes syslog-ng server. 

Filters try to emulate previously used /etc/syslog.conf file. 

# /usr/local/etc> cat syslog-ng.conf
@version: 3.0
##### this is conf file for client

# No Global options here, since they are defined on the server - syslog-ng

# Global options

options {
        ts_format(iso);
        keep_timestamp(no);
        create_dirs(yes);
        };
