Instructions

1. Install dependencies: pip install jinja2 paramiko
2. Generate TLS certificates for rsyslog server and clients using OpenSSL.
3. Run the agent to generate rsyslog server and client configurations:
   • Server: TLS listener on port 6514, per-host directory output, JSON-format templates
   • Client: TLS forwarding with disk-assisted queues for reliability
4. Deploy configurations to servers via SSH (paramiko).
5. Validate TLS connectivity and log delivery.

python scripts/agent.py --server-ip 10.0.0.1 --clients 10.0.0.10,10.0.0.11 --ca-cert ca.pem --output syslog_report.json
