[syslog-ng] Installing Syslog-NG 3.7 on CentOS 7

OK so i get syslog-ng running with the default configuration.... this 
have some problem with the TLS configuration.

What i have done i have create the certificate procedures ( self signed
certificate ) on my laptop following this article:
https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-tutorial-mutual-auth-tls/html/create-server-certificate.html

So i generate the server certificate on my laptop and the other
certificates for the clients. I copy them and put the configuration.

Any other configuration in syslog-ng.conf to put and try to working with
TLS ?

Kind regards
