Thanks in advance :-)

/var/log/ltm is a file. You need to perform some action on that file to be useful. At a minimum you could simply 'cat' the file:
cat /var/log/ltm
But what most find the best option is to 'tail' the log - which produces an active running output of the log data:
tail -f /var/log/ltm
