LogBack support for syslog over TLS

[sharet-adl]

Hi,
I am interested in how we could have logback configured to send syslog events over TLS, if possible. What I checked so far is:

• logback Syslog appender - which does not support TLS
• logback SSLSocketAppender - which does not support Syslog

I know that log4j2 supports syslog over tls, by using SyslogAppender.

What would be the best the options here, for LogBack ?

Thank you !

For anyone interested in this, it seems the current best solution is to use an Appender from Logstash which is fully compatible with Logback and has support for TCP/TLS, namely LogstashTcpSocketAppender. It would be nice if in the Logback documentation these sort of external and compatible Appenders that cover missing functionality in Logback could be mentioned.
