Ahh, that's a bit of an issue actually. Your iRule won't be able to send traffic out the management port. That'd be a heinous security risk. You'll need to make sure the syslog server you want to send traffic to is routable from a non management interface on the system.

 

 

Colin And this isn't limited to HSL, right? Any logs originating from iRule will not take mgmt routes?
