Are you asking how the log is formatted in /var/log/ltm? I created a very simple log rule to log text just to show how the log is formatted.

The following sample rule was applied to an HTTP virtual:

ltm rule logtest {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "Test rule"
    }
}

When the virtual is hit and rule triggered, the following log message appears in /var/log/ltm:

ltm 04-04 11:45:26 info lab-bigip1 tmm[15549]: Rule /Common/logtest : Test rule

Does that cover your question or are you looking for something additional?
