Hi f51,

Thanks for your support
The sys db log.rules.level is already "Warning"

 

 

sys db log.rules.level {
    default-value "Informational"
    scf-config "false"
    value "Warning"
    value-range "Debug Error Informational Notice Warning"
}

 

If I try to apply a different iRules, for example, log when my public IP contacts the VIP, I see the logs in /var/log/ltm.

 

Thanks

    Thank you for the update. Try as below. Move the log command before the drop command in your iRule.  

    when FLOW_INIT {
      if { [IP::version] eq "6" } {
        log local0.warning "Blocked IPv6 connection from [IP::client_addr]"
        drop
      }
    }
