About log forwarding
Any log collection system that supports syslog-style log streams is supported (e.g., Logstash and Splunk).
When you enable log forwarding, you must upload a CA certificate to encrypt communications between syslog endpoints. Your appliance and the remote syslog server will perform two-way SSL, each providing a certificate to the other and validating the certificate which is received.
