How to configure Heavy forwarder syslog output with TLS?

Hi,

We can configure a heavy forwarder to send syslog data from Splunk to a third party. How do we this flow to use TLS with mutual authentication (client and server certificates)?

Thanks,
Gabriel

I'd be interested to know this as well - from the outputs.conf documentation it seems like the SSL settings only apply to tcpout and not to syslogout
