Nimbostratuslog to remote server
What does it take to make this work?
According to SOL5527, bigip v9.4.2 and later must use bigpipe command. I tried it but don't see any log on the remote server.
Do i need to create a directory there like /var/log/ltm and what file permission do i need?
Do I still need iRules for this? Thanks!

You can log to remote syslog server, either by:
- Configuring Syslog-ng to forward what you want to a remote server. Click here
- use log "msg" within an iRule to send it directly to a remote server. If you can do it within an iRule directly performance are better since you won't use syslog-ng. Example: log 10.1.1.1 local0.info "HTTP data is [HTTP::payload]". To do this you need at least 9.4.4
lmwf1_55268Thanks. I will give it a try and post the result back here.

Hi Nicolas,
Any idea if there is a way to send TCP syslog alerts using the log "message"? I assume not, but figured I'd check.
Thanks,
Aaron
