Syslog-ng appears to have many config files and I am not sure which to

I see only one - where are you looking at?
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
Can anyone assist me with this short line of syntax, given the above
Linux Log file's ability to display the file as it changes and the
various parameters it uses, some of which I understand but not all.
The ability to NOT have to maintain a M$ PC just to be a Syslog +daemon
would be a breakthrough for so many sysop's who require real time syslog
data.
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); };
I know this is a big ask, but no one but no one currently produces as
Linux Syslog Daemon + Log Viewer.
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.
