    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.

Thanks a lot for the input.

I will monitor that file and the ha.log file which i found. When there is time for a failover ill check the logs to see what gets written where. If that doesnt work ill open a support case, or create a script to watch tmsh show /cm failover-status.

I have to say though, documentation about logging is quite lacking, especially for big-IQ.
