You can use the ITCMSystem::ConfigSync::download_file() command to download log files. BIG-IP put's it's status in the system log file (/var/log/messages). This does get updated with other system messages and is rotated regularly so it might be tricky managing the content and freshness of the file. I'd be interested in hearing what you do with this.
