number of days' worth of logs to retain on disk for syslog-ng

Hi,

I have a Solaris 7 box running syslog-ng that numerous firewalls send their syslog
messages to & their messages will be stored/sorted in such a way that :
      /logs/firewall_1_hostname/....yyyymmmdd.log.1
      /logs/firewall_2_hostname/....yyyymmmdd.log.1
      /logs/firewall_3_hostname/....yyyymmmdd.log.1
            . . .

where yyyy is the year, mmm is month, dd is day.

What I'm not certain is whether this feature of sorting out the logs based on their
hostnames (& with the names of the log files being based on the dates) is a
built-in/standard feature of syslog-ng or is it something my colleagues back
in the corporate customize.

If this is a standard feature, can someone tell me how or which file I could
modify to increase the number of days of logs that could be retained on the
disk (ie in the /logs/... directory).
