BIGIP only stacks about 5000 ASM logs.

This is the r4600 equipment.
I found that the logs only stack 2GB because r series uses tenant, virtual machine.

Even if it's 2GB, it's too little to stack up to only about 5000 logs. Even these 5000 are for just one day.

Whenever I open a case regarding logs, F5 says that BIGIP is not log stacking equipment, so have a separate logging server.

So I don't know how to solve this problem.

Is the data in Traffic Learning related to the logging disk?

If you have experienced the same as me, please advise.

Thank you.

  • Hi thekoreanguy​,

    the ASM db is limited to 2 GB and also to 3 millions records, whatever limit you reach first. Check what events you are logging. Maybe you are logging all requests instead of violations only.
    The local logs are meant to identify and easily correlate events going on "right now" or in the past couple of hours. Any historical log info should be saved in and retrieved from a SIEM like Splunk or ELK Stack. And I agree with F5 - your BIG-IP is not a SIEM.
