[syslog-ng] unix-stream: ignore non-existent pipe

[Peter Kokai (pkokai)]

Hello,

There is a *system* source, that aim is to detect on the running system the proper source listening to. (in case of systemd the system source tries to fetch logs from journald)
Does that cover your use case ? In case it is not, could you please the cases it cover, and the cases it does not ?

Additionally you could always replace the *system* source with writting a system source block of your own described in *{install_prefix}/share/syslog-ng/include/scl/system/plugin.conf*
