F5 BIG-IP DNS/Audit Logs — Structured Format for SIEM Ingestion

Hello Team,

We are working on adding ingestion support for F5 BIG-IP DNS and Audit logs into a SIEM, with the goal of normalising events to the OCSF standard. For other BIG-IP event types, we use Telemetry Streaming to forward logs in structured JSON format, which makes normalisation straightforward.

However, DNS and Audit logs appear to be emitted only in syslog text format, and we have not found a way to obtain them in structured JSON. Additionally, we were unable to locate any official schema documentation describing the available fields for these log types. This makes it challenging to reliably parse and map the events to a standard schema.

Can someone please help if there are any schema documentation available for DNS and Audit logs, or if there is any supported way to forward these logs in JSON or any other structured format?

Any guidance or documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Krishna
