In TMOS shell then you can use the "show log" command to see the viewable logs and, for example, to see the LTM logs then use:
show log ltm
Or, you can quit the TMOS shell my typing quit and then viewing the /var/log/ltm, for example, using Cat, More or Less
Hope this helps,

Guess you've user account role been assigned the tmsh shell. In simple, when you log-in, your directly into the tmos mode. Hope that clears you. From tmos mode to come to bash mode, you need to run this command. run util bash Once your in bash mode, Run a tail command to see live logs or use less command. tail -f /var/log/ltm less /var/log/ltm Remember i've seen in some higher 11.x version, the bash will not be seen. Youre only choice is to use the tmos or login with root use to access bash mode. Or you can change your user role's shell access to bash again from tmsh.
- natheTry:
show / sys log ltm

You can login as the root user to the CLI and browse to /var/log/ or You can try run util bash
This will put you in shell prompt and you should be able to browse to /var/log/
Alternatively you could use show /sys log ltm
