Собираем syslog-ng из исходников со всеми модулями

Устанавливать будем на deb системах. Здесь на ubuntu 16.04 и debian 8.
Устанавливаем пакеты для сборки

sudo apt-get install bison gcc+ libglib2.0-0 libpcre3 glib-2.0 libglib2.0-dev flex python-dev libriemann-client-dev riemann-c-client libhiredis-dev libesmtp-dev libnet-dev libmaxminddb-dev libgeoip-dev libdbi-dev autoconf-archive-y

Устанавливаем granle

wget https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-bin.zip
mkdir /opt/gradle
unzip -d /opt/gradle gradle-4.4-bin.zip
ls /opt/gradle/gradle-4.4
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle/gradle-4.4/bin
configure && make && make install

Ставим java8 и экспортируем пути

apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk -y
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Клонируем репу syslog-ng

git clone https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/
cd syslog-ng
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-all-modules --enable-systemd
make -j4 && make install
ldconfig -v

Добавляем init.d скрипт – если вы ничего не меняли при сборке то все будет работать через него.

Даем ему права

chmod +x /etc/init.d/syslog-ng && systemctl unmask syslog-ng

Запускаем

/etc/init.d/syslog-ng start

PROFIT!!!
