Hello, First time poster, go easy! :) I’m using syslog-ng for network logging and have been fine running it thus far with no problems. Having decided to go that step further and use Elasticsearch 5.1.1 and Kibana for visualisation, I’ve managed to get both those (along with nginx) working, but currently have an issue with starting syslog-ng. I think it’s java and associated libraries, but according to documentation I’ve read so far I can’t seem to work out what isn’t working correctly/where I should be pathing correct .jar files from?
