<p>I'm trying to setup syslog-ng on a systemd system. But even
though I have several things writing to syslog, syslog-ng doesn't
write ANYTHING to the /var/log/messages except kernel messages and
it's own info. So I searched around, and found the
systemd-journal() source. So I tried it. And I get an error that
says syslog-ng can't initialize the logger plugin:</p>

<pre># syslog-ng -F
[2021-01-23T23:25:36.525097] The configuration must not contain more than one systemd-journal() source;
[2021-01-23T23:25:36.525157] Error initializing journal_reader;
[2021-01-23T23:25:36.525173] Error initializing message pipeline; plugin_name='systemd-journal', location='/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:26:5'
</pre>
Here's the config, basically copied from the syslog-ng.com page:<br>

@include "scl.conf"
options {
threaded(yes);
chain_hostnames(no);
stats_freq(43200);
mark_freq(3600);
};
source s_journald {
systemd-journal(prefix(".SDATA.journald."));
};
source src { system(); internal(); file("/proc/kmsg"); };
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };
log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(s_journald); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };</pre>

What am I doing wrong? I am POSITIVE things are sending to the
syslog sub-system. I have ensured several programs have sent
something. But without the systemd-journal line syslog-ng loads
fine, recording /proc/kmsg and syslog-ng messages but nothing else.<br>
<br>
I am completely stumped here. <br>
