[–] wc- 13y ago ↗ This reminds me of another log shipping tool, http://logio.org/ which I think recently added support for encryption as well.
[–] codexon 13y ago ↗ TLS transport mapping for Syslog requires that you maintain both client & server certificates for authentication.The point of requiring certificates for the client is so your server doesn't get spoofed logs. [–] bgentry 13y ago ↗ That is correct. However, using and maintaining client certificates is a huge pain, especially for a massively multitenant service such as Heroku.HTTP Basic Auth is quite a bit simpler as an authentication mechanism and, over TLS, is sufficiently secure.
