I believe that the output from tcpdump would be written before LTM parses the HTTP headers and the HTTP_REQUEST event is triggered. Maybe a developer could comment on that?

It might be helpful to log a statement in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event with the client IP:port as well as in the HTTP_REQUEST event.

 

 

Could you post your virtual server and profiles from the bigip.conf as well as your rule so we can take a look?
