Hi,

try these:

Sending/receiving messages using RFC5426
http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en.html/ch03s04.html#configuring_destinations_syslog
http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en.html/ch03s03.html#configuring_sources_syslog

For tls encryption:
http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en.html/ch03s13.html

If you need mutual authentication:
http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en.html/ch03s14.html

In general, I'd recommend to get logging work via UDP/TCP first, and then add 
TLS-encryption (first probably without certificate validation).

Regards,

Robert
