- hooleylistCirrostratusIf you only have an LC license, I don't think you'll be able to parse anything at layer7 like the HTTP URI. If you could, it would still be expensive in terms of CPU and memory resources to log an entry for every HTTP request or TCP connection. If you did want to do this, the most efficient way to do this would be an iRule using the High Speed Logging commands to send messages to a remote logging server. See the HSL wiki page for details:

- santosh_81454NimbostratusHi Aaron,
- hooleylistCirrostratusThere is a standalone LC license which wouldn't allow any layer 7 iRule functionality as well as a combined LC+LTM product which would. Either way, I'd be leery of trying to log all connections or HTTP requests on a production unit. Maybe the HSL functionality would be efficient enough to do this. But if you already have this logged on the web servers, it seems like it would be worth the extra effort to collect the logs from those units.
