To configure syslog-ng, you need to edit it's configuration file[1] on the host where syslog-ng is running, there is no GUI for that.
We have a quick introduction in our Syslog-ng Admin Guide on how to configure syslog-ng [2].

Subject: Can I manually setup a Syslog server?

Good day from Singapore,

I have just implemented and setup the following for an investment
company (company name is confidential) in Singapore on 12 Sep 2020
Saturday Singapore Time.

(1) Installed and configured Kiwi Free Syslog Server 9.7.0 (by
Solarwinds) on the Active Directory Domain Controller (Windows Server
2016 Standard).

(2) Configured Cisco ASA 5506-X Firewall's Logging to send and transmit
syslog messages to Kiwi Free Syslog Server 9.7.0 on the Windows Server.

(3) Added a firewall rule to open UDP port 514 on the Symantec Endpoint
Protection Manager (SEPM) on Windows Server 2016.

So the question I have is, can I manually setup and configure a Syslog
Server with GUI using open source syslog daemon, open source tools and
any Linux distro?

Thank you very much.
