Getting error " Failed to acquire /run/systemd/journal/syslog socket, disabling systemd-syslog source"

[mk_goog_3898]

Trying to use syslog-ng for latest Splunk enterprise.  I am getting error " Failed to acquire /run/systemd/journal/syslog socket, disabling systemd-syslog source" when I try to run the service manually.  This error prevents me to run the syslog-ng service in systemctl during bootup.  Any idea or help would be appreciated.

While syslog-ng is often used with Splunk, it is not a part of Splunk solution and since your question is not related to issues with "interfacing" syslog-ng with Splunk but is rather a general issue with syslog-ng itself it'll be much better answered on its own mailing list.
