<p dir="ltr">No not necessarily, it is a built-in source that detects your local log transport and generates config accordingly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This module is shipped with syslog-ng and should always be available. By rereading your error messages it seems unrelated to the systemd issue, sorry for sidetracking you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This can be a generic failure in loading plugins. If you start syslog-ng with --module-registry you should see all plugins available to syslog-ng. What is the output there? Look for the system source plugin specifically.</p>

<p>There was an issue that on newer systemd based platforms the systemd-journal () plugin doesn't load. You should see this on stderrr during startup. It is a pretty recent issue maybe #914?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Do you have systemd? Do you have a separate libsystemd-journal.so or just a monolithic
<b>libsystemd.so</b>?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>The problem is with supporting the latter one.<u></u><u></u></p>

What is the exact content of your syslog-ng.conf file?<br>
Did not you forget to include the scl?<br>
<br>
