For the syslog-ng package there are only the man pages

  syslog-ng.conf.5
  syslog-ng.8

The html documentation which was part of the 2.x packages is not
available in the source packages for 3.0.1 for some reason.  If you want
more docs, you should take a look onto the homepage of the project:

http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng

For the eventlog package there is documentation in the source package,
but it's not installed by default.  Since I only needed the package
to get syslog-ng running, I didn't look into it.  Download the source
and look into the doc subdir.
