Logging http traffic to an external location

Hi DevCentral Team,

 

We're running 10.2.3 build 123 HF1 (32bit) physical LB pair.

 

We are trying to get the web traffic for AWStats weblogs analyzer from one of our load balanced applications so the Execs can see how many people are hitting the site. However, the boss noticed that since site is directed via an irule on the F5, that the access logs on the linux web server are missing the required information, and he thinks the F5 may be logging it somewhere. Is there a way to have the F5 export just the http traffic for that specific F5 virtual server to an external log preferably writing to a mounted location off the F5?

 

thanks, Keith

    You will want to look at High Speed logging and log all the information to a external SYSlog server
