no message in log files when unit goes active/standby

When forcing unit to standby I only get something like this in /var/log/ltm:

 

Oct 14 15:32:57 f5m notice logger: /usr/bin/tmipsecd --tmmcount 1 ==> /usr/bin/bigstart stop racoon But it is not exactly what I'm looking for...

 

I cannot find a message in any log file that would directly tell me that my device went active or standby. Is there such message? How do I enable it?

    Have you checked you log options? System > Logs > Configuration > Options. Whenever our HA pair changes from active to standby, I get a log entry 5 entries above the stop racoon entry saying the unit is going to standby.

    What log entry do You get?

      bigip1 notice sod[1234]: 010c0044:5: Command: go standby overdog. I think it is the log for Traffic Management OS: notice.

      unfortunately I get only this: Thu Oct 23 09:35:27 CEST 2014 notice f5b-nnn logger /usr/bin/tmipsecd --tmmcount 1 ==> /usr/bin/bigstart start raccoon Thu Oct 23 09:37:33 CEST 2014 notice f5b-nnn logger /usr/bin/tmipsecd --tmmcount 1 ==> /usr/bin/bigstart stop raccoon I can assumme that this log means switchover of devices, but I'm looking for something.. more straightforward :-)
