How deeply does Logs and Telemetry cover certificate?

Explains TLS flags, certificate paths, CA verification, self-signed certificates, and lifecycle concerns without detailing certificate generation.

Certificate

As explained in Logs and Telemetry

A digital certificate is a signed credential that binds an identity to a public key for authenticated communication.

A digital certificate is a signed credential that binds an identity to a public key. In Fluent Bit, certificates support encrypted network communication and help protect sensitive log data. section 3.6.3

Configure certificate handling according to the trust model:

Enable tls on the network input; TLS is otherwise off by default. section 3.6.3
Use tls.verify to control CA-based authenticity checks. Self-signed certificates require verification off; production deployments should use a CA-provided certificate. section 3.6.3
Plan for certificate lifespans and revocation records during certificate management. section 3.6.3

certification authorityproduced by · A certification authority is a trusted entity that verifies identities and issues digitally signed certificates binding public keys to identities or domains.
public keyhas part · A public key is the openly distributable component of an asymmetric cryptographic key pair, used for encryption, authentication, or signature verification.
self-signed certificateincludes · A self-signed certificate is a digital certificate whose signature is created by the same entity and key identified by the certificate rather than by a certificate authority.
TLSused by · Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that protects network communications through confidentiality, integrity, and authentication of communicating endpoints.
