Hi, Just a point. -transport-udp and -transport-tls should be independent of each other, since one is based on udp and the other on tcp. I just want to be sure that is understood.
-transport-udp and transport-tls should have a comparable interface to the rest of the syslog documents. Do we agree on that point?
