key-value pairs to the `log-opts` JSON array. They can also be set on a given
container by adding a `--log-opt <key>=<value>` flag for each option when
starting the container.

Title: Syslog Logging Driver Options
Summary
The syslog logging driver supports various options that can be set in `daemon.json` or when starting a container with the `--log-opt` flag. These options include: `syslog-facility` to specify the syslog facility, `syslog-tls-ca-cert`, `syslog-tls-cert`, and `syslog-tls-key` for TLS configuration, and `syslog-tls-skip-verify` to skip TLS verification (only applicable when using the `tcp+tls` protocol).
