NimbostratusCreating an iRule to send/extract the payload of HTTP request to remote server
NimbostratusHello Daniel!
Firs of all, thank you so much for your information!
Let me explain a little bit more.
Today, we have 2 remote servers with booth of them are receiving the logs of our F5 Appliances. We are working to future desable the local logs of our appliances for only make troubleshooting with our 2 remote servers that are receiving this logs internal only. The problem is, we're sending to every alert/block the "query_string" field, but in some cases, the field "query_string" don't show anything, the field are there, but without any information, we detected that some type of signatures like XSS and SQL do not send this values of the exacly query string that match with the attack signature, but if we see it in our local log in F5 we can see the string that matches with the Attack Signature.
Best Regards,
Victor.
CirrostratusMaybe I misunderstood your question, but you can select the "request" field in your log profile to log the entire HTTP request (headers + body).
Of course for big requests this will still be limited by the max entry length you also configure in the log profile, but maybe the 64k or whatever the max length for standard log profiles is, is already enough for your use case.
If you do use this, make sure it's the last field in your log format. That way if a request does exceed the limit, you don't lose any other log fields.
