Securing Sidecar/beats communication

Graylog Central (peer support)
3

HI @gsmith

Thanks for helping out again :slight_smile:

I’ll go through your questions one by one, below.

  1. Before you decided to use TLS/TCP, did the Beats INPUT work and did you see messages arriving in the INPUT.
    Answer: Yes and yes
  2. I assume the Sidecar is for Linux Device and is this a remote device or local install?
    Answer: the sidecar is for a Debian 10 VM in a different VLAN from the Graylog server
  3. What instruction did you use to create your certificate? Could you briefly show us the steps taken when you create those certs?
    I’ll refer you to my previous post: Unable to start inputs after implementing HTTPS on Graylog web interface - #5 by foss4ever
