<div class="">I managed to get things working again by reinstalling syslog-ng (3.26.1) using the default install prefix (/usr/local)</div>
<div class="">BTW syslog-ng seems agnostic as to whether there is a - or an _ in the name I have tried both in the conf and both work in this version</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">my previous practice (which I have used for years) was to use a prefix of /usr/local/syslog-ng-<version> and have a symlink in for syslog-ng in /user/local pointing to the current version. With in the real install I moved etc to dist-etc and
then linked etc to /etc/syslog-ng/</div>

<div class="">I now have the weird situation where version installed in /usr/local/syslog-ng-3.26.1/ fails but the one in /usr/local works</div>

<div class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">While writing this I decided to try reinstalling my original 3.21 version by simply doing a make install and this works fine! </span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class=""><br class="">
</span></div>
<div class="">Which is really weird because that was the first thing I did after I realised things had been broken. My next step was to install 3.22 and then 3.26 in /usr/local/syslog-ng<version>. I then deleted all of them and installed 3.26.1 in /usr/local
and that worked.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I am happy to spend more time on this if you want to get to the bottom of this even though I have my system back. Like much of the rest of the world I am stuck at home, alone, under fairly strict lockdown so I am happy to contribute something
back to the project!</div>

Make sure that file is installed. Also the name of the block is using a dash, whereas you were using an underscore. I think it should be all the same as we generally convert lot of things from underscore to dashes but I would check this explicitly.<br class="">
