connection_type	enum	udp	The transport protocol to use. Valid values are udp or tcp.
data_flow	enum	high	Enable high flow or reduced low flow.
listen_port*	int	5140	The port to bind to and receive syslog. Collector must be running as root (Linux) or Administrator (windows) when binding to a port below 1024.
listen_ip*	string	“0.0.0.0”	The IP address to bind to and receive syslog.

enable_octet_counting	bool	false	Whether or not to parse using a trailer character. This is a special character that will be the termination character for syslog messages. This is only applicable to tcp and rfc5424 configurations.
non_transparent_framing_trailer	enum	LF	Whether or not to enable octet counting on syslog framing. This framing allows for the transmission of all characters inside a syslog message. This is only applicable to tcp and rfc5424 configurations.
enable_mutual_tls	bool	false	Whether or not to use mutual TLS.
cert_file	string		Path to the TLS cert to use for TLS-required connections.
key_file	string		Path to the TLS key to use for TLS-required connections.
