F5 Load balancing, find what server user worked on

Hi, newbie here. I just got a question from one of our devs if it was possible to track down a user session to tell what server he was working on when the application failed? Is this possible to find out through the F5, or do they need to search logs on all the servers?

 

We have 4 servers in a LB setup, using predictive (member) method. Cookie persistence enabled.

  • Technically you could setup logging on the BIGIP F5 to see where each user is sent too, do a filter based on client-ip, and if one reports a failure check against the logs ...

     

    Or you can just review access logs on the server, which is what I would do.
