BIG-IP v12.1.2 (Build 1.0.271) One of the new features is to automatically log SSL Handshake Failures, which sounded great. When I tested it this was the entry made in /var/log/ltm: Jul 31 08...

If you want to see source IP, you need to configure Info or Debug level for SSL. System > Logs > Configuration > SSL. Once it is enabled you will see a message similar to this in the ltm file:

 

SSL Handshake failed for TCP 192.168.174.16:49678 -> 192.168.33.72:443

 

After troubleshooting your problem, it is recommended disabled debug logging. Please check:https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15292
