socktype=socket.SOCK_STREAM,
secure=True)
logger.addHandler(handler1)
# with custom certificates, via cafile/capath/cadata
# refer to https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.create_default_context
handler2 = TLSSysLogHandler(address=('secure-logging.example.com', 6514),

# with custom SSLContext (e.g. for mutual TLS authentication)
context = ssl.create_default_context(

)
context.load_cert_chain(
certfile="/path/to/client/cert.pem",

)
handler3 = TLSSysLogHandler(address=('secure-logging.example.com', 6514),
