Hello,
You'll find the log files in
folder. Two main files worth checking are/var/log
and/var/log/ltm
. Use the Linux program "less" in combination with "grep" (line-search functions) to work with the log files. By default, those log files cover a 1 week period. This can be modified. The log files from previous days have the file extension ".gz", you don't have to unpack them, the "less" program can read those too./var/log/tmm
MOHIT_125417Thanks Hanees, Few queries here 1. Can I get all kind of logs under /var/log 2. what is the differece between /var/log/ltm & /var/log/tmm 3. Way to use the Linux program "less". Any example- Hannes_Rapp1. Yes, this folder and subfolders in it contain all the log files. There are no other places you need to know about. 2. /var/log/ltm reports all the operational LTM events, such as Pool UP/DOWN but also hardware issues such as symptoms of system overheating, or hard drive errors. /var/log/tmm reports microkernel events such as global system crashes and the file is usually empty. If your system crashes due to a tmm error, it's quite likely the root cause will be logged here. 3. e.g. "less /var/log/ltm". Perhaps this article will help you to get started with working with the log files: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/16000/100/sol16197.html Good luck!
