Does F5 Log Traffic for a successful Connection ?

Hello

 

Quick question does F5 Log a successful Connection to a VIP and associated communication to Backend Pool Members ?

 

I know we can get that using TCPDUMP but logging perspective does that happen ? I guess not. But why ? May be lot traffic ? If need to be done how can be done ?

    No​. By default F5 don't log any succesful traffic log. You can configure based on requirements either HSL or request logging profile to vip.

    ​

    It's possible.​

      Thank You Samir. Is that individual Logging Profile need to be created for each VIP ? And Log will stay Locally at F5 ? or can be stored at remote storage ?

        Will you be able to share the KB for Traffic Logging with HSL and request logging ?
