I'm not logging to syslog-ng, just plain syslogd.  I'm tell the cisco
devices to use the localX facilities.  Here's the general idea with two
different cisco devices logging to one *nix machine:


CISCO #1:
!
version 12.2
service timestamps log uptime
!
hostname router1
!
logging trap debugging
logging facility local6
logging 207.176.213.10
!
end


CISCO #2:
!
version 12.0
service timestamps log uptime
!
hostname switch1
!
logging trap debugging
logging facility local5
logging 207.176.213.10
!
end


/etc/syslog.conf ON UNIX MACHINE:
local6.*                                                /var/log/cisco
local5.*                                                /var/log/switch


The "service timestamps log" line in the cisco configs could also have a
bunch of other options, such as "datetime", "msec", "localtime" and
"show-timezone".  I don't use these because syslog timestamps it when
writing to the file.

Hope this helps.
