[syslog-ng] RFC-5424 configuration with IPV6 is not working

[Péter, Kókai]

Hello,

The error message lists the correct transport methods: *please use one of
udp, tcp, or tls;*
There is no such option udp6, you could use specify ipv6 via
ip-protocol(4/6)

All together syslog("::1" transport("udp") ip-protocol(6)); should work.
