[Feature Request] Encryption & Auth for Remote Logging

[NikhilSatyakrishna]

Hey, it isn't currently possible to ship logs from endpoints that run this app to a syslog server in a secure way. I've outlined three things that could benefit greatly for enterprise grade deployments:

1. Certificate based auth to ensure only authorised clients can send logs to syslog server.
2. Logs are sent over plaintext, need syslog over TLS.
3. Make TCP default protocol.

Ran into this issue as well, as a work around, ended up writing a script that uploads logs to paper trail (can be adjusted to any server pretty easily). Then I have a custom command running in MDM that executes every x minutes.

Support for syslog over TLS will be implemented in Privileges 2.0.0, which will be available later this year. Besides of this, the new version will not support UDP anymore.
