Missing syslog messages for important configuration changes on the HMC

There are currently no logs for when the syslog forwarding configuration is changed, nor when changes are made to the SSL/TLS certificates used by the HMC for connections to other servers, such as remote syslog server. We need this feature to effectively monitor the consoles.
