Client IP & Daily data flow

What version of LTM are you using? And is it HTTP? or something else?

 

 

For HTTP on v11 you have AVR. That'll show you on the LTM itself a lot of info (e.g. query3). And you have request logging as well. Either built-in, OR you could write an iRule to send it via HSL or SIDEBAND connections to your logging server of choice.

 

 

If it's HTTP and you want the client IP at the poolmember you can use an X-ForwardedFor header to add the actual client IP to the HTTP headers. Other protocols, I'm afraid you're on your own... Most don't have the concept of inserting original client IP's in the stream anywhere I'm afraid...

 

 

For your second query... I'd use netflows from your Layer3 switch/router... YMMV...
