[rudder-users] Rudder Node-Server communication

[Marko Winkler]

Hi all,

currently, I've setup a small rudder environment (server in version 5.0
and agents in version 4.3) for testing purposes using the simple
installation guide provided by the official documentation.

During the tests, I notice that the node sends the inventory data using
the syslog protocol. However, a tcpdump on the network interface shows
that the data is sent in plaintext. Did I miss to setup any further
security configuration? A review of the documentation didn't help:
https://docs.rudder.io/history/4.3/_security_considerations.html#_inventory

It's possible to encrypt all data which will passed between the rudder
components? I am pleased about feedback.

Bests,
Marko
