Summary

Reapply the syslog receiver verification fix that was inadvertently reverted by PR #114845 (OBSDOCS-1639).

Problem: PR #114845 merged on July 8th and reverted the OBSDOCS-2747 fix that was merged on July 6th. The original fix replaced the incorrect curl verification method with the proper logger command.

Changes:

  • Removed curl-based verification including CA certificate extraction
  • Replaced with proper logger command that uses the syslog protocol
  • Simplified verification to a single step with the correct tool

Why this matters: The curl command sends HTTP requests, not syslog messages, so it cannot properly test a syslog receiver. The logger command uses the syslog protocol and is the correct tool.

Status on other versions:

JIRA: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OBSDOCS-2747

Fix syslog receiver verification to use logger instead of curl. This
reapplies the fix from PR openshift#114615 which was inadvertently reverted by
PR openshift#114845 (OBSDOCS-1639).

The curl command sends HTTP requests, not syslog messages, so it cannot
properly test a syslog receiver. The logger command uses the syslog
protocol and is the correct tool for verification.

Changes:
- Removed curl-based verification including CA certificate extraction
- Replaced with proper logger command that uses the syslog protocol
- Simplified verification to a single step with the correct tool

This fix is already applied to versions 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 via the
original OBSDOCS-2747 cherry-picks.
