Load balacing syslog traffic through an LTM

So apparently everything i tried was in the standby node and so the reason my simple config didn't work was because it was never active.

 

 

So the basic setup:

 

 

nodes with gateway_icmp health monitor (may explore options later but syslog isn't really a 2way communication stream)

 

for the virtual server only thing i did was protocol tcp and the rest set to None.

 

 

Still need to figure out the SSL, but this was a great first step.

 

 

thanks and sorry.
