how to get additional geolocation data into ASM event logs?

The application security logging profile has a single field titled "geo_location" that logs geolocation by country code. Is there any way to get additional geolocation data into the ASM event logs? (...

I think the geo_location field should show the country and city information: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-external-monitoring-implementations-11-5-0/12.html?sr=55923923

 

If its not visible i think you may need to update the geolocation database: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/11000/100/sol11176.html

    I have encountered this problem too, and I have upgraded GEOIPDB to the latest version. I think geo_location field should not output the city information. I don't know why. Did this problem solved, @spud, @Vijith
