How should we configure Syslog ssl certiificate at logstash(client) and syslog server end.  
From document what I understood is we will be having `ssl_cacert` , ssl\_cert, ssl\_key at client end that is logstash. How about Server end should we have same certs used or should we use different ssl\_cert, ssl\_key produced by same ssl\_cacert..?

Can someone provide me the info here ....
