Description Rich Megginson 2019-02-12 14:59:44 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1676559 +++

Description of problem:
rsyslog needs a general purpose REST API for communication with a new generation of logging services - AWS S3, CEPH object store api, Loki, and many more.  In addition, the existing http apis (elasticsearch, mmkubernetes) could use more generalized support for http options such as headers, and better tls option support for passing in cipher suites, tls versions, and other tls parameters (especially the flag to turn off strict root CA checking so that we can use intermediate CA certs).

There is an upstream PR - https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/3423 - but I don't yet know if it supports all of the features we require.
