Choose the Protocol:
- om_udp
-

- om_tcp
-
Initiates a TCP connection with the remote host to transfer log messages.
- om_ssl
-
Uses the OpenSSL library to send log messages via TCP over a TLS/SSL-encrypted connection.
-
Click Save if you selected om_udp or om_tcp, or continue to the next step if you chose om_ssl.
-
Enable the Secure switch (blue).
-
Click the Upload icon to upload the CA file (Certificate Authority), Certificate file, and Certificate key file from your computer.
