Syslog-ng has automatic demand loading so I dont know why you need it explicitly. Sometimes we do change module names with the expectation that users wouldn't even notice. To see what modules syslog-ng can discover, try the --module-registry option for the syslog-ng executable. It should print all of the modules we discovered. The issue in this case seems to be that the name of the module is geoip2-plugin in contrast to geoip2 that you are using.

HI
This is a locally compiled application (version 3.26.1) and I am trying to get the geoip2 stuff working. I had similar problems a week or two back with elasticsearch_http destination plugin. This seems like it might be easier to diagnose since the error says where it is looking for the plugin.

any ideas why it is not loading the library?
