Add support for Encrypted Syslog

While investigating the use of Syslog on our cloud hosted instance of ConnectWise, it doesn't appear that any type of Syslog encryption is supported. This exposes sensitive audit logging that would traverse the public internet to reach a syslog ingestion point. 


Rsylsog, Syslog-ng, etc support TLS encrypted communication which ConnectWise could connect to if supported.

For a cloud hosted solution this is a must. In todays environment, you have to be able to encrypt the syslog when sending to any other system. Even if you are locally hosted the connection to the sys log server should be encrypted. I was very surprised that there was no way to encrypt the syslog connection.

We really need to ship our Screenconnect access logs to our SIEM, so we can store the data longer for retention and auditing purposes. Support says they don't recommend moving logging settings beyond 30 days, which really hampers our needs.

Can we look into adding optional TLS encryption?
