CirrusBackup LTM ASM and APM log files to external FTP or tape drive
Hi,
Is it possible to backup all ltm, asm and apm logs stored under the /var/log/ltm folder in the BIG-IP to an external FTP or tape drive.
Can anyone please share their inputs.
You can write bash scrip like below
File name: script.sh
!/bin/bash $1 is the file name usage:this_script script.sh HOST='your host' USER="your user" PASSWD="pass" FILE="/var/log/*" FTPFILE=/FTP/LOG/ ftp -n $HOST <Schedule crontab 0 06 * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh

You can do this with a bash script and a cron job to schedule packaging up the files and sending to your preferred destination.
Are you not able to use a Syslog server, this would be a more sensible approach?
