Capturing URI on BigIP to MS SQL Database

Hi All,

 

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction here... I want to capture every URL that my BigIP processes and store it in a Microsoft SQL Server database.

 

If this is possible (and advisable) I'd like to split the URL up so I can perform some analysis on the traffic we receive on a day to day basis.

 

 

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

 

 

Many thanks,

 

 

Joe

    Depends on how much traffic you will have.

     

     

    F5 in v11 have high speed logging which can be used for this. But I dunno if this is recommended or not.

     

     

    Another option is to do the analysis based on the logs of the webservers (if you are in a reverse situation). Or use the logs from the proxy (if you are in a forward situation) because they will exist anyway and can easily be batched into your SQL server if you wish.
