TLS Syslog Cert Question - PEM vs CER

View thread

Hi All,

We are cutting our NXLog Community version over to a new solution and are currently using .pem certificate files to encrypt syslog in the om_ssl module. The new system is using a .cer file for the certificate and when cutting over an agent to reference the .cer rather than .pem, it doesn't seem like the logs are being decrypted. I didn't see anything in the documentation indicating NXLog doesn't support .cer or only supports .pem, but I wanted to query the forum to see if anyone else experienced issues with setting the TLS to utilize a .epm files for encrypted log forwrding.

Thanks.
