ASM Logging to CLI /var/log/asm

Hello All,

 

I have an ASM that logs only on GUI. Tried various configurations, with no joy. I want to have the logs visible in the /var/log/asm file.

 

Moreover, I want to be able to search with the usernames in that file. I've already applied Session and Login Tracking and can see the username in the GUI.

 

How can I achieve this?

    The logs in the GUI are stored in a local mysql database - Local Storage.

    You can create and add Remote Storage destinations with various storage formats.

     

    The Remote Storage is intended for dedicated logging servers (Splunk, Syslog, Arcsight or BigIQ Logging).

     

    The BigIP itself is not intended as a logging server, and high-volume local logging (such as ASM logging or iRule logging) will reduce performance and stability.
