NimbostratusLogs of traffic to /tophat/tophat.js for the past week?
I was tasked with finding out information about traffic to a few hosts we have that hit a Virtual IP on the BIG-IP F5. They're trying to figure out who's still using the original Tophat and hasn't switched over to tophat2. I'm not entirely sure of where to start on this. Is there a way to capture this information from the last 7 days from Analytics in BIG-IP or other logs?

Unless you have an existing Analytics profile applied to the virtual server, the answer is no.
The LTM (by default) does not log information on traffic passing through a virtual server.
You can collect data with an Analytics profile (if AVR is provisioned), or apply a Request Logging profile - preferably to an off-box logging solution (like Splunk/ArcSight).
Otherwise, you need to write an iRule to do this logging.
Can this data be extracted from the pool member logs using X-Forwarded-For headers to identify incoming IP addresses?
