Hi,

 

In fact everything depends on the logs that you want to send to your server. You can use high-speed remote logging. You can configure the BIG-IP system to log information about BIG-IP system processes and send the log messages to remote high-speed log servers. You can filter the data that the system logs based on alert-level and source.

You can also send some information according to your convenience via an irule:

otherwise you can also send the logs with "Adding a remote syslog server". but as explained above everything depends on the logs you want to send.
