# Logging

The UniConfig distribution uses Logback as its logging framework. Logback is the successor to the log4j framework with many improvements, such as more options for configuration, better performance, and context-based separation of logs. Context-based separation of logs is used widely in UniConfig to achieve per-device logging based on the set marker in the logs.

# TLS

TLS is a widely adopted security protocol designed to facilitate privacy and data security for communications over the Internet. TLS authentication is disabled in the default version of UniConfig.

# TLS for Postgres database

By default, UniConfig communicates with the database without TLS and traffic is therefore unencrypted. When the database is deployed separately from UniConfig, we recommend that you enable TLS encryption.

# OpenAPI

The UniConfig distribution contains a '.yaml' file that generates list of all usable RPCs with examples. You can view it either locally or on our hosted version, which always shows the latest OpenAPI version.
