NimbostratusAPM archived log that shows when active box failed over to standby
is there any archived log on the APM that will show when exactly the active device failed over to standby? The current logs only go back to the start of the day and I've check the remote system we log to and cannot locate it. I know it had to happen some time between Friday afternoon and this morning. What log file would that be in? I upgraded one device last week and wanted it to run over the weekend to make sure no issues but when I came in to work this morning I noticed it was back on the older version box. So I need to find out the exact date/time it failed over.

Failover logs are seen on the ltm log file. Try the below if the log files are not rolled.
egrep -i 'active|standby' /var/log/ltmegrep -i 'failover|failsafe' /var/log/ltmegrep -i 'watchdog|overdog' /var/log/ltmIf you think the log files have been rotated, try the below,
zcat /var/log/ltm.*.gz | egrep -i 'active|standby'
