Introduction
This document explains how to configure rsyslog to support TLS connections, which is necessary for sending logs to Coralogix syslog endpoints.
Prerequisites

Configuration
STEP 1. Install the gtls driver and ca-certificates:
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install rsyslog-gnutls ca-certificates
STEP 2. Modify the rsyslog configuration file:
$DefaultNetstreamDriver gtls $DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt $ActionSendStreamDriverMode 1 $ActionSendStreamDriverAuthMode x509/name $ActionSendStreamDriverPermittedPeer *.coralogix.com $template CoralogixSyslogFormat,"{\"fields\": {\"private_key\":\"xxxx\",\"application_name\":\"vagrant\",\"subsystem_name\":\"syslog\"},\"message\": {\"message\":\"%msg:::json%\"}}\n" *.* @@syslog.eu2.coralogix.com:6514;CoralogixSyslogFormat
STEP 3. Restart rsyslog:
