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"

4

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.
