How do I setup remote syslog for audit logs only on my f5 big IP

How do I setup remote syslog for audit logs only on my f5 big IP

I have tried using the gui but when I create a log destination, it won't let me forward to anything in the drop down box.

cheers

  • Hi,

    I use to setup this in TMSH command line:

    # edit /sys syslog
     
    modify syslog {
        include "
            filter f_audit {
               match('AUDIT');
            };
            destination d_syslog {
                udp(mysyslog.server.local port(504));
            };
            log {
               source(local);
               filter(f_audit);
               destination(d_syslog);
            };"
    }

    You can run "modify" intead of "edit" like described here:
