FIPS Errors
Hi
I am seeing the following error being logged: iControlPortal.cgi[14845]: Checking for FIPS card.. FIPS open failed
The device itself does not have FIPS installed: root@(device01)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) fips-util No supported FIPS device found
How do I stop these errors from being generated?

are you using enterprise manager? if yes, it may be a bug but the bug id has not been created. you may open a case to confirm.
in the meantime, you may exclude the log using custom syslog configuration.

Hi Nitass - Do you know how to exclude this syslog message in v11:
Would it be this? So it wouldn't get to 'err'
tmsh modify syslog daemon-to warningIs there anyway to be specific on the service "iControlPortal.cgi"

daemon-from: Specifies the lowest level of messages about daemon performance to include in the system log. The default value is notice.

Hi Nitass
I ended up updating the syslog configuration by adding the following: Syslog Configuration Extract include " filter f_fips_remote_logs { level(warn..emerg) and not match(\"FIPS open failed\"); }; destination d_remote_loghost { udp(\"10.10.1.199\" port(514)); }; log { source(s_syslog_pipe); filter(f_fips_remote_logs); destination(d_remote_loghost); }; "

Bug 435044 - Do not log an error when F5KM checks for FIPS card.
Is there anyway to be specific on the service "iControlPortal.cgi"
i understand you have to filter it out similar to what Sulaiman did.
