  • Hi Nandhi , 
    To send Logs to remote syslog servers , accomplished by 2 methods : 

    1. Syslogng utility which runs over Linux : 
      • in this method you will face some difficulties to filter / or send specific log messages such as your scenario here of "Audit Logs " by Gui. 
      • you can send Audit logs by configuring syslog-ng but this can be done only from CLI , to do that follow this article https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K56602501 , it just simple modification using some simple linux commands.
    2.  High speed logging ( HSL ) and this run over TMOS : 


    So first method needs CLI interactions whereas secon method can be done using GUI. 

    I hope you find my comment useful ! πŸ™‚
