If you're not using an SQL destination, and don't need it, you can add
--default-modules=affile,afprog,afsocket,afuser,basicfuncs,csvparser,dbparser,syslogformat
to the commandline in the init script, and it will stop warning about
afsql. Mind you, this is only a warning - syslog-ng will function just
fine despite the perhaps scary warning at startup.

(You can get the compiled-in default by running syslog-ng --version, and
looking at the Default-Modules line - remove afsql from there, and pass
the rest via --default-modules)

If you do want to use an SQL destination, then you will need that
module. I do not know what package it is in, possibly something like
syslog-ng-module-sql or something similar.
