Bot Log is not showing in BIG-IQ
- Jun 04, 2023
Hi Emon_423837 ,
For Sending Security Logs yo BIG-IQ
1. Add BIG-IP to the BIG-IQ CM
2. Enable Web Application Security in BIG-IQ DCD
3. Configuration of the Security Log profile
4. Attach the log profile to the protected Virtual Servr
5. Monitoring Profiles from BIG-IQ
Can you please share the BOT Logging profile details.
Actually, the BIG-IQ DCD has a listening service in the 8514 port then we have to configure a log profile in the BIG-IP device to send events to the 8514 port.
Once it is configured, there will be security events in the BIG-IQ Central Management (CM) device, thus, we can already watch these logs for troubleshooting and applications visibility from BIG-IQ CM.
For more details could you plese check the link as follows:
Have you
Activate ASM Web Application Security events logging service for one or more BIG-IQ Data Collection Devices (DCD)
https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K51005651
Creating a DCD Pool
Define this pool in Log Destination
System >> Logs: Configuration : Log Destinations
System >> Logs: Configuration : Log Destinations
Now create one log destination for Splunk and here forward the destination to the previously created log destination
System >> Logs: Configuration : Log Destinations
Now check if you got 2 log destinations:
System >> Logs: Configuration : Log Destinations
Now create one log Publisher:
System >> Logs: Configuration :Log Publisher >> Log_pub_DCD
Can you check your logging profie and see if Bot protection is selected:
Select all the request log options of your choice
Save the logging profile
Attach/Assign this logging profile to the required Virtual Sever:
I am suspecting you may have missed this step, in case else check all the steps once again using the help of the screenshots I attached here:
After that hopefuy you can also see the logs in the Bot

Thanks for given me your valuable time.
One Correction:
- You must add Splunk type log destination on log publisher, Not High Speed Log Destination. When I add HSLD profile on log publisher. Log publisher was invisible on logging profile.
One more info: Our network desing was wrong. We want to reach out BIG-IP to DCD through management interface that was the problem. Because F5 Big-ip traffic not in or out through management port.
