Possibly doesn't start because the syslog-ng service is disabledHowever, when rebooting the machine the syslog-ng daemon does not start. Manually trying to start it also fails.As this is a fresh boot, there is no information gleaned with "journalctl -xeu syslog-ng.service"Code:
# systemctl status syslog-ng○ syslog-ng.service - System Logger Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service; disabled; preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:syslog-ng(8)
Seems like something is amiss on your system. For instance, your /etc/syslog-ng directory is missing. Why is that?
