Secure Transfer using SSL/TLS

Post by chito »

Hi,

I have a question about security.

Can Nagios Log Server ensure that messages cannot be accessed by third parties by using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to encrypt the communication between the clients (log sources) and Nagios Log Server?

Thank you.

Using the inputs provided by Logstash you can accomplish this. The default syslog input we give uses the tcp input which allows SSL connections using the ssl_* options. If you forced all your log sources to send over SSL then yes, you could make sure that all logs were being sent via encrypted methods.
As of May 25th, 2018, all communications with Nagios Enterprises and its employees are covered under our new Privacy Policy.
