[syslog-ng] date-parser not found

13 Jun 2017

      Hi,

I would like to use the date-parser.

When i using the below parse it says "date-parser not found":

parser haproxy_date {
    date-parser(
         format("%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z")
         template("$(substr ${MSG} 0 27)") );.
};

Plugin module not found in 'module-path';
module-path='/usr/lib/syslog-ng/3.5.6', module='date-parser'
Error parsing parser expression, parser plugin date-parser not found in
/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/20-haproxy.conf at line 26, column 5:
                                                          included from
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf line 165, column 1

    date-parser(
    ^^^^^^^^^^^

It's weird, because when i try to use the date-parser module in the log
section:

log { source(s_haproxy); filter(f_haproxy_info);
date-parser(format("%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z") template("$(substr ${MSG} 0
27)") ); destination(d_haproxy_info); };

it says:

Error parsing log, syntax error, unexpected LL_IDENTIFIER, expecting '}' in
/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/20-haproxy.conf at line 37, column 5:
                                                              included from
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf line 165, column 1

    date-parser(format("%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z") template("$(substr ${MSG} 0
27)") );
    ^^^^^^^^^^^

In OSE version the date-parser module is not available, or i'm missing
something?

Thanks, Robert
