Hi&nbsp;SMilanic&nbsp;,
You don´t need an irule to send Syslog over the TCP Protocol, you can use&nbsp;Remote High-Speed Logging,
Follow this guide to configure HSL:

Hope it works

Hello Sebastiansierra,Thank you for your answer!We need iRules to log some additional stuff, such as client certificates for debugging, etc. So from the top of my head I am not 100% sure, that we can direct logs from na iRule to local0. and (then) send it to a remote HSL destination. However, I think we could use HSL from an iRule, if I remember correctly.I'll look into it. Thanks!&nbsp;
