Remote Logging with TLS

[Adelabumowe]

Hello there,
I am trying to implement remote logging to a syslog server using TLS but the traffic keeps getting dropped.
How does the privileges app know what certificate to use/call while establishing that connection to the syslog server?

[mthielemann]

Normally, the server will send a "hello" message, including the server certificate chain and the list of accepted client certificate issuers. Please make sure your server's certificate matches Apple's requirements.

Hi @mthielemann,
Thank you for your response
The Syslog server's certificate has already been installed on the Mac device and it is present within the keychain

Any issues with syslog logging with UDP? I'm getting app crashes when set up.

How did you set this up? Syslog via UDP is not supported anymore. Please see here. The upcoming version 2.3 comes with a lot of improvements for syslog over TCP. Maybe you should give it a try.

Thanks for the response and clarification. I will switch to TCP.

If anyone still has problems with Syslog, please test again with version 2.3, which is expected to be released next week. Most of the syslog code has been rewritten and some new features have been added. If anyone is still experiencing problems, please create an issue. Thank you very much.
