Syslog-ng is not starting
Team, I am new to syslog-ng and recently installed syslog-ng v3.23 on RHEL 8. However while trying to restart syslog-ng service it is failing with below error. I read it on some blog that installing "http" should fix it but didn't find any steps on how to intall the module. I did try to do a fresh installation of syslog-ng 3.23 and no luck there. Plugin module not found in 'module-path'; module-path='/usr/lib64/syslog-ng', module='http' Thank you NG.

This is only the case if you have the EPEL yum repository installed. syslog-ng is not included natively with RHEL 8. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/ On 2023-07-11 06:00, Peter Czanik (pczanik) wrote:

Team,
I am new to syslog-ng and recently installed syslog-ng v3.23 on RHEL 8. However while trying to restart syslog-ng service it is failing with below error.
I read it on some blog that installing “http” should fix it but didn’t find any steps on how to intall the module. I did try to do a fresh installation of syslog-ng 3.23 and no luck there.
Plugin module not found in 'module-path'; module-path='/usr/lib64/syslog-ng', module='http'
Thank you
NG.
