I am trying to setup Syslog-NG t send output to Kakka. I am running ubuntu 18.04, Syslog-NG version 3.37.

This is my syslog-ng.conf ( I have #scl.conf because if I don’t it tries to install kafka-java)

@version: 3.37

@define kafka-implementation kafka-c

#@include "scl.conf"

destination d_kafka {

kafka(

bootstrap-servers("127.0.0.1:9092")

topic("{incoming}")

);

};

This is the error when I try and run sudo syslog-ng

Error parsing config, syntax error, unexpected LL_IDENTIFIER, expecting '}' in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:6:3-6:8:

1 @version: 3.37

2 @define kafka-implementation kafka-c

3 #@include "scl.conf"

5 destination d_kafka {

6-----> kafka(

6-----> ^^^^^

7 bootstrap-servers("127.0.0.1:9092")

8 topic("{incoming}")

9 );

10 };

Any help will be appreciated.
