Make shared_key optional for output plugin #53

Closed ewolinetz closed 7 years ago

If we want to be able to ship logs securely with this plugin to another log aggregator that may not be fluentd (e.g. logstash), we should be able to not provide a shared_key for authentication.

Logstash can use SSL communication, and it has a Fluent codec to interpret events sourced from Fluentd. However using this plugin we cannot ship to them given that shared_key is required and Logstash has no means of using a shared_key.

This plugin is not to transfer logs to logstash.
