With this config, if your hostname is koala and if you have files like

log/t1.log
   /t2.log
   /...

They are sent to

receiver/koala.t1.20141219.log
        /koala.t2.20141219.log
        /...

Right now, the time_format must appear in out_file. If you don't want it in the file name, you can embedded in the path by replacing

path receiver/${tag_parts[1..-2]}.*.log

with

path receiver/*/${tag_parts[1..-2]}.log

in receiver.conf. That would change the file structure to

receiver/20141219/koala.t1.log
        /20141219/koala.t2.log
        /...

receiver.conf

  type forward

  type forest
  subtype file
  <template>
    path receiver/${tag_parts[1..-2]}.*.log
    append true
    flush_interval 1s
  </template>
</match>

sender.conf

<source>
  type tail
