History of connectivity on VS/node

Hello,

I'd like to know how can I get a history (hour/dated logs) of connectivity, to detect when exactly a node stopped responding (ping KO) & a VS was down.

Thank you,

You can check the ltm (
/var/log/ltm
) logs for that information. You should see entries marking the VS down and up

Aug 19 08:32:14 devicename notice mcpd[99999]: 99999999:9: SNMP_TRAP: Virtual /Common/MY_VS_NAME has become unavailable Aug 19 08:32:23 devicename notice mcpd[99999]: 99999999:9: SNMP_TRAP: Virtual /Common/MY_VS_NAME has become available

You can find availability events for VS, nodes, pools, etc through the logging.

If you have you logs going somewhere off the box, I'd imagine you'd be able to see greater history, but on the box you may only get fairly recent events (depending on how much other logging is getting done)
