Hi,

And to make your setting update proof, I'd like to emphasize the following paragraph from my blog:
"

Hint: while the exact path changes with the update of Java, there are often some simplified links available. For example on Fedora Linux: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.51-4.b16.fc22.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server/ is also available as /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/amd64/server The first link changes with each Java update, the second one stays stable between updates.

"

This, or a similar link exists also on CentOS.

Hi,

I believe Péter's diagnostic is correct.
Another Péter's blog summarizes the "problem" on this blog post:

    https://www.balabit.com/blog/troubleshooting-java-support-syslog-ng/

I for one chose the method of adding a file into ld's config file directory:

    $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/java.conf
    /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.141-1.b16.el7_3.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server

Of course your path will most probably be different.
Also don't forget to run `ldconfig` afterwards.

Cheers
