BIG IP Status Codes

I am looking to get a list of the status codes and type of event they refer to for F5 BIG IP.   Ex: Jun 3 21:37:19 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx notice tmm2[9409]: 01490500:5: 9da83f0c: New session from client...

On 11.x systems at least, the file /config/httpd/run/bigip_error_maps.dat appears to contain a complete map. The :n: does appear to correspond to the severity level. They appear to map as:

  1. Emergency
  2. Alert
  3. Critical
  4. Error
  5. Warning
  6. Notice
  7. Informational
  8. Debug

This solution article provides some information:

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/6000/400/sol6420.html

The integers mentioned in that article correspond to entries in the .dat file, not the integers between the colons (:) in the messages. I suspect the hex value after the second colon is a serial number for the error, rather than a sub-code.

Note that the only documentation I've found is in that solution article, so you will need to open a case with F5 Support to verify that my speculation is indeed accurate.

It sounds like you'd like somebody to send you the file I reference, but I don't know whether that is something that can be publicly shared. Once again, opening an F5 Support case will provide information about that.
