How to find recent changes to the configuration

Hi Team,

Happy New Year!

Can someone please help me on "How to find recent changes to the configuration"

I did run below commands but didn't get any output. I  have F5 LTM device 5600i

cat /var/log/audit | sed -n -e '/2024-Jan-02 14:35:01/,$p'

  • Hi Msaud,

    You can try following command in BASH mode

    grep ^Jan.02.* /var/log/audit

     

    for more such logs you can use following fprmat

    From Bash shell:

    cat /var/log/audit | grep "name_of_vs"

    cat /var/log/audit.1 | grep "name_of_vs"

    zcat /var/log/audit.*.gz | grep "name_of_vs"

     

    From GUI:

    Sytem -> Logs --> Audit --> search with VS name (date/time range can also be provided)

    Hope this helps

  • File '/var/log/audit' always show the latest audit file. instate of 'sed', you can use grep comamnd something like  grep '14:35' /var/log/audit

    There are many other methods to search pattern but i prefer i.e grep, less, etc.
