HI This is a locally compiled application (version 3.26.1) and I am trying to get the geoip2 stuff working. I had similar problems a week or two back with elasticsearch_http destination plugin. This seems like it might be easier to diagnose since the error says where it is looking for the plugin. rful011@secmgrprd02:~$ /usr/local/syslog-ng-3.26.1/sbin/syslog-ng -s -f /etc/syslog-ng/geoip.conf [2020-04-08T07:30:19.551845] Plugin module not found in 'module-path'; module-path='/usr/local/syslog-ng-3.26.1/lib/syslog-ng', module='geoip2' Error parsing config, syntax error, unexpected LL_ERROR, expecting $end in /etc/syslog-ng/geoip.conf:4:1-5:1: 1 @version: 3.21 2 3 @include "scl.conf" 4-----> @module geoip2 4-----> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 5-----> # 6 7 options { 8 use_dns (no); 9 use_fqdn (no); rful011@secmgrprd02:~$ ls -l /usr/local/syslog-ng-3.26.1/lib/syslog-ng/libgeoip2-plugin.* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1271 Mar 31 08:57 /usr/local/syslog-ng-3.26.1/lib/syslog-ng/libgeoip2-plugin.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 158912 Mar 31 08:57 /usr/local/syslog-ng-3.26.1/lib/syslog-ng/libgeoip2-plugin.so any ideas why it is not loading the library?
