To log all client connections through the BIG-IP, you can use an iRule and modify the syslog-ng configuration. You could trim down this rule to just log the client and server IP's (Click here)

 

 

Within the log statement, you can specify the syslog facility and severity:

 

 

log facility.severity "log text"

 

 

example:

 

 

log local0.info "some text"

 

 

There are examples of how to configure syslog-ng to log to a remote syslog server as well (Click here).
