Ayyway to have entries written to /var/log/ltm to a external syslog server?
Hi,
Our company has made the decision to move our various web sites into the cloud. Our cloud provider has given us a partition on some form of BigIP running ver 11. Even though we have "manager" access to our paritition we cannot access the ltm log files either via the GUI interface or via shell, in fact we have no ssh access either. Normally on our pair of LTMs I would have a tail running on /var/log/ltm to help in debugging iRules, esp any TCL related errors. The only suggestion the cloud provider had was to tell us to setup a syslog server and redirect the ltm logs to the syslog server. Well I have setup a syslog server but when I asked for help in having the ltm logs for our paritition I redirected, there has been complete silence. So I thought I would ask here.
I have looked on the wiki and there are quite a few topics on have log entried written to a external syslog server, and I have done some simple log statements to do this, but this is not quite what I need because I would like to see TCL errors as well and I can't see any way to log these. So I guess if it can be done it's now from an iRule, or it can't be done. So is it possible?
