Global Log Receiver - Payloads

I set up a global log receiver and I'm getting the logs, but the request and response bodies are "UNKNOWN". What do I need to do in order to get the payloads? Thanks, Guy

- I use a generic http server as the receiver

- I chose request logs because I care about the data coming from requests and responses

- I could only select current namespace for the Global Log Receiver which put it in system

I'm still learning it all so thank you for the help.

For Request logs,  request and response bodies are not logged. That is the reason those fields are marked as "Unknown"

    How can I get the bodies then?

      At present , Logging of bodies (request and response ) is not a supported capability . To be considered as a feature request, please add the feature request details here https://www.f5cloudideas.com/

        Couple of questions:
        1. If it's not possible why does the request log send `req_body` and `rsp_body` keys anyways?
        2. Is it possible to send the payload to a third party server in any other feature?
        Thanks for the help.
