Configure HSL to use secured syslog

Hello, I would like to know if theres a way to configure syslog over SSL/TLS on the BIG-IP appliance

 

Currently I managed to use HSL with syslog on non-secured port (514), now I would like to use over SSL/TLS (6514)

 

I followed the tutorial below in order to configure the HSL syslog on my system

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-external-monitoring-implementations-11-3-0/2.html

 

I tried to follow the following guides below but no success:

Thanks for your help

    You should be able to upload your client SSL cert and add the profile to your virtual server. Are you using tcp end to end? For testing, I generated a test file 'file.log' and have used openssl s_client:

    cat file.log | openssl s_client -connect <syslog ip> 6514
