Hey there

I am assuming you did a git clone from the syslog repo

go into the cacti plugins folder you will see syslog
there will be a config.php.dist file rename that file to simply config.php and you should be good

global $config, $database_type, $database_default, $database_hostname;
global $database_username, $database_password, $database_port;
global $database_ssl, $database_ssl_key, $database_ssl_cert, $database_ssl_ca;

/* revert if you dont use the Cacti database */
$use_cacti_db = false;

if (!$use_cacti_db) {
$syslogdb_type = 'mysql';
$syslogdb_default = 'syslog';
$syslogdb_hostname = 'localhost';
$syslogdb_username = 'cactiuser';
$syslogdb_password = 'cactiuser';
$syslogdb_port = 3306;
$syslogdb_retries = 5;
$syslogdb_ssl = false;
$syslogdb_ssl_key = '';
$syslogdb_ssl_cert = '';
$syslogdb_ssl_ca = '';
} else {
$syslogdb_type = $database_type;
$syslogdb_default = $database_default;
$syslogdb_hostname = $database_hostname;
$syslogdb_username = $database_username;
$syslogdb_password = $database_password;
$syslogdb_port = $database_port;
$syslogdb_retries = 5;
$syslogdb_ssl = $database_ssl;
$syslogdb_ssl_key = $database_ssl_key;
$syslogdb_ssl_cert = $database_ssl_cert;
$syslogdb_ssl_ca = $database_ssl_ca;
}
