Encrypt logs

[kporta]

Is there a way to encrypt the delivery of the logs to Nagios Log Server?

I have seen articles about configuring SSL connections to the Nagios Log server, but don't think that applies.

Thank you

If I were to do this on our server(s), I'd likely look into stunnel (https://www.stunnel.org/index.html)

Correct; That will not actually encrypt the log traffic.

This was something I played around with a bit but never got very far with. @eloyd's suggestion is the easiest way since it's not going to interact directly with what NLS does on the back-end.

You could also look into Shield which is an official Logstash plugin for tackling the task of encryption:

Thanks for the quick replies - I'll check out both of those suggestions!
