Ubuntu syslog-ng, config file too old

[Alexandre_Chevrier]

Hi,
I just did a fresh installed of librenms on ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Everything is now OK on validate.php (included below)
I followed installation instruction for Ubuntu syslog here :

Syslog - LibreNMS Docs

service won’t start. Here are the journalctl infos :

journalctl -xeu syslog-ng.service

Please update it to use the syslog-ng 3.35 format at your time of convenience. To upgrade the configuration, please review the warnings about incompatible changes printed by syslog-ng, and once completed change the @version header at the top of the configuration file; config-version=‘3.27’

/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/librenms.conf file was created with copy/paste

Where can I find librenms.conf working with new version ?

While looking on the other posts, I found this one

Syslog not working with librenms.conf

Changing source(s_sys); to source(s_src); does solve the problem. Warning about config file too old is still there, but service is able to start.

sudo nano /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/librenms.conf

source s_net {
tcp(port(514) flags(syslog-protocol));
udp(port(514) flags(syslog-protocol));
};

destination d_librenms {
program(“/opt/librenms/syslog.php” template (“$HOST||$FACILITY||$PRIORITY||$LEVEL||$TAG||$R_YEAR-$R_MONTH-$R_DAY $R_HOUR:$R_MIN:$R_SEC||$MSG||$PROGRAM\n”) template-escape(yes));
};

log {
source(s_net);
source(s_src); <===========
destination(d_librenms);
};

Been pulling my hair out on this thanks for the fix.
