Hi,&nbsp;
Have you tried configuring High Speed Logging for AFM? (https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/bigip-15-1-0/big-ip-network-firewall-policies-and-implementations/remote-high-speed-logging-with-the-network-firewall.html)&nbsp;
Basically, set up a remote logging system, then set up a Destination &amp; Publisher and create an AFM Logging profile in which you can filter your messages.&nbsp;
Hope this helps, but shout if I've misunderstood your question!

Hi AlexBCT,Thanks for your response. I have already created an AFM profile but my question is what&nbsp;FACILITY includes connection information?Second is can we log local5 logs in AFM policy like we can do in ASM logging profile under facility option?&nbsp;&nbsp;
