Hi,

 

You can view logs using below commands in CLI

 

  1. cat ltm or more ltm
  2. tail -f ltm
  3. cat ltm | grep
  4. cat ltm | grep
  5. cat ltm | grep
  6. zcat ltm.1.gz | grep input may be nodeip, vipip, pool name etc..

If you are using gtm use gtm instead of ltm in abov commands.

 

Hope this helps
