LTM log file

Suppose I copy the ltm file, Is it safe to delete the LTM log file? Will F5 create a new one?

it was not created in my gear after i deleted it until it got rotated (by logrotate). so, if you want to purge the log, i think it may be better to empty log.

e.g.

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  ls -l /var/log/ltm
-rw------- 1 root root 1555 Feb 10 19:58 /var/log/ltm

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  cat > /var/log/ltm
[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config 

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  ls -l /var/log/ltm
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 10 20:01 /var/log/ltm
