Securing Fluentd Communications with TLS
In this lab, you will be provided two servers that have fluentd pre installed. Your task is to send logs from `/var/log/messages` to the target fluentd server. You must also do what is required to use TLS to send the log entries. You will need to generate certificates using OpenSSL and perform all the configuration tasks required to get this up and running.
