Here is what happens when I include it. It tires to use kafka-java

hello,
the @include is required for kafka, but you commented out with #

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

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.
