How to view pending changes in F5?

Hello,

In the F5 I see changes pending and I would like to know what are those changes before executing them, but I don't know how to see it.

Can you help me? thanks in advance.

    Hello SuppEsp_Ax,

    You can review the audit logs to see what changes were made and by whom. The audit log is located at /var/log/audit and records configuration changes, including the user and the type of change.

    Use below commands for CLI

    • cat /var/log/audit 
    • less /var/log/audit
    • tail -f /var/log/audi

    In the GUI, you can go to System > Logs > Audit to review recent configuration changes.

     

    If no changes were made on the Big-IPs but you see changes pending, check the following article

  • SuppEsp_AX​ in most cases the changes you make are immediately implemented, the F5 does not really operate in a manner where it lets you choose to commit the changes.
