The problem is that changes in /logs/stdout.log are only visible in /var/log/20140717/stdout when I perform /etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload or restart. I tried several settings of flush_*, log_fifo_size and follow_freq but with no luck :D
Is it a problem withe the version that I use (quite old :D ) or is there a mistake in my configuration maybe?
afaik, syslog-ng isn't part of CentOS 5, and there is no top level directory /logs/ at all, logging is done to /var/log and the syslog config files are in /etc, so you must have a heavily customized system configuration. Since noone can possibly know what all you've done, it seems like you're on your own here.
syslog-ng is available in EPEL for RHEL 5. Interestingly, it appears to log to /var/lib/syslog-ng. (I don't use syslog-ng; I'm just going by the output of 'repoquery -l syslog-ng'.)
