LTM Policy Logging variables pre 12.0

Hi Guys,

It turns out dynamic variables are only available on v12.x and it is not possible on v11.x

Here is the excerpt form F5... The feature you are trying to use is called "TCL command substitution" and is supported only in v12.x

   Manual Chapter: Local Traffic Policies

In versions prior to v12.x you cannot use TCL variables in the log messages (only static text) - iRules have to be used to log TCL variables in this case.

In v12.x you can use the syntax below to log TCL variables such as "HTTP::uri":

 ltm policy /Common/Drafts/lab-test-policy-v1.1 {
    last-modified 2016-10-12:13:12:16
    published-copy /Common/lab-test-policy-v1.1
    requires { http }
    rules {
        log {
            actions {
                0 {
                    log
                    write
                    message "tcl: This is the current URI: [HTTP::uri]"
                }
            }
        }
    }
    strategy /Common/first-match
 }
