[syslog-ng] ACLs with syslog-ng

RHEL 7 and 8 syslog-ng 3.19 and 3.31 We have always set permissions on directories that we want the Splunk universal forwarder to be able to read as root:splunk 640, but now security doesn't like this and wants everything under /var/log to always be root:root except for some specific exceptions. We had tried to solve this with an ACL in the past, however, syslog-ng always seems to clobber the ACL, even when it's the default ACL on the folder. Is this a known issue, is there a way to get syslog-ng to play nice with ACLs.
