F5 ASM Auditlogs for all Policy Changes apart from normal Login Logout details

Dear Team,

Good day!

Can anyone confirm whether F5 ASM Auditlogs give information about configuration changes other than normal login logout data? Requirement is customer wants Auditlogs for all configuration changes also (like who has logged in and what changes he/she made etc.).

Thank you.

Hi

Sorry for the delay. Admin/root are very likely to be linked.
Try creating a dedicated account.

Also what you are reading is the system audit log.

You also have the ASM Audit Log in Security -> Application Security -> Policy -> Audit -> Logs.

  Dear Yoann,
  
  Thank you for your reply.
  
  I got it. Will ASM forward ASM Audit Log in Security -> Application Security -> Policy -> Audit -> Logs to Syslog Server same like System Auditlogs? or it will only available locally in the device?

    Hi
    I had a quick look, but it seems to be in the SM DB, not managed by syslog.
    So as far as I can tell, it seems to be local only. Only illegal requests logs can be sent to syslog.

Hello

It does. It logs ever modification to the policy. That also include changes made by the policy builder itself.
URL, Response page, Attack signtature... and so on.

Dear Team,

I could see the configuration changes in F5 ASM Auditlogs, as given below.

Can anyone tell me why is it showing user as root when I made this configuration changes from GUI with admin account?

Thank you.
