syslog (stdlib.syslogMiner) does not work for PAN-OS generated logs

[KlausGroeger]

Hi community,

I installed a fresh ubuntu 16.04.6 and updated the installation to the newest packages. When I create the PAN-OS syslsog receiver as from "stdlib.syslogMiner" prototype, the miner does not receive anything.While doing a tcpdump capture on the inemeld device I can see syslog coming in to the rsyslogd via port 13514. PCAP shows the content I expect to see (syslog messages from PAN-OS). After investigating further I found in the local /var/log/syslog the following messages:

When I take a look in directory /usr/lib/rsyslog/ I cannot find the modules that are complained about in syslog:

So, there must be something wrong with the binary install.
