    Hi,

    Without documentation, I recommend you open a support case with F5 level 4 " how-to ", because I am almost sure that these events are in var/log/ltm, but it's better if support confirms it if you can´t perform a failover.

    and the other question, the answer is Yes, Big-IQ is based on TMOS, and the OS is similar to Big-IP that runs TMOS inside too, you can try this command without any wrong behavior tmsh show /cm failover-status.

Ah sorry i should have better explained what my goal is.

I want the log file with the failover logso i can have it exported to AWS cloudwatch. Right now im not looking for causes, just for the right file to send there so i can have some automation happen there for other systems. Hope that clears it up.

In the link you send i found this command: "show /cm failover-status". Do you know if this will work for BIG-IQ too?
