iRule for syslogging of portal status

Hi, I wish to log web portal (HTTP and HTTPS) status in external syslog server. Believe that iRule can do the job. Would appreciate if somebody can help on this.   Thanks Eesh

If you want useful user login etc, you'll have to drop a user event into the VPE and log the info via an iRule...

 

The iRule is pretty simple. I think there's an example in the APM example deployments manual... As for the warnings/errors, you'll need to forward the APM logs file (/var/log/apm) off to a suitable remote syslog server for that really... Otherwise I'm not sure you could get decent alerts for things like secured server failures... Just a generic authentication failure...
