LTM Local Logging Question

We've written a throttling iRule that parses URIs and occasionally rejects requests based on volume, content and other conditions. That part works well.

 

 

We'd like to be able to log some of these events locally for troubleshooting and audit purposes - preferably in a separate custom log in the /var/log/ directory. (not /var/log/ltm) Is this possible?

 

 

I don't have that much experience with syslog, so working through bigpipe to manipulate syslog isn't making this any easier.

 

 

I thought about grabbing one of the local.* logs and using it for myself, but I'm not sure what the impact might be elsewhere.

 

 

Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated.
