[syslog-ng] Writing JSON message to a MongoDB destination

[Evan Rempel]

It should have been in your package.

What OS are you using (which package management are you using0.

You can then check the package contents. RPM example is

linnet.comp.uvic.ca% rpm -qa | grep -i syslog-ng
UVic-syslog-ng-stats-1.0-0.x86_64
UVic-syslog-ng-3.4.1-2.el6.x86_64
UVic-syslog-ng-config-std-3.3-3.x86_64

linnet.comp.uvic.ca% rpm -q --filesbypkg UVic-syslog-ng-3.4.1-2.el6.x86_64 | grep -i json
UVic-syslog-ng            /usr/local/lib64/syslog-ng/libjson-plugin.la
UVic-syslog-ng            /usr/local/lib64/syslog-ng/libjson-plugin.so


Mine looks odd because we build our own RPMs and packaging.
