# Security of Monitoring Data

TIBCO FTL components and clients can secure monitoring data and log data using TLS.

If your enterprise uses secure FTL servers, then data is secure as it travels from client to FTL server, and then to subscribers.

However, TIBCO makes no assertions about the security of third-party components.

## FTL Server

A secure FTL server uses a secure TCP transport to communicate with its clients. TLS secures the heartbeat messages that carry monitoring data and log data from clients to the FTL server.

A secure FTL server can secure the monitoring stream and logging stream using TLS.

See "Secure FTL Servers" in TIBCO FTL Administration.

## Monitoring Gateway

The monitoring gateway (tibmongateway) supports TLS to secure its client connection to a secure FTL server. Administrators must supply appropriate command line arguments when starting the gateway. For details, see TIBCO® Messaging Monitor for TIBCO FTL®.

## InfluxDB

The monitoring gateway can secure its connection InfluxDB. For details, see TIBCO® Messaging Monitor for TIBCO FTL®.

## Grafana

Grafana can use a secure connection to query InfluxDB. Grafana can secure client connections from browsers using HTTPS. For details, see TIBCO® Messaging Monitor for TIBCO FTL®.

## Log Service

The log service can secure its connection to InfluxDB. The log service can secure client connections using HTTPS. For details, see "Securing Log Services" in TIBCO FTL Security.
