Configure HSL to use secured syslog

Hello, I would like to know if theres a way to configure syslog over SSL/TLS on the BIG-IP appliance

 

Currently I managed to use HSL with syslog on non-secured port (514), now I would like to use over SSL/TLS (6514)

 

I followed the tutorial below in order to configure the HSL syslog on my system

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-external-monitoring-implementations-11-3-0/2.html

 

I tried to follow the following guides below but no success:

 

Introduction to secure logging configuration

 

Logging BIG-IP System Events

 

Thanks for your help

  • You should be able to upload your client SSL cert and add the profile to your virtual server. Are you using tcp end to end? For testing, I generated a test file 'file.log' and have used openssl s_client:

    cat file.log | openssl s_client -connect <syslog ip> 6514
