Hello,
What file are you trying to see ? BIG-IP logs are in "ltm" file and this file should looks ok in notepad.
Hi,
You can view logs using below commands in CLI
If you are using gtm use gtm instead of ltm in abov commands.
Hope this helps
sorry, few commands didn't come in the proper format.
You can download LTM file through WinSCP and can view in notepad/Wordpad if a file is more than 1 MB etc.. you will not be able to open it.
A better way to verify log is CLI or move logs to log server eg: Splunk etc..
