New log file associated with a localX.

I'd like write access logs in a log different from those already defined: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/6000/400/sol6420.html

 

To do this I would use a iRules like this: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/Apache_style_logging__slightly_modified_.html

 

 

what steps should I do? (Syslog-ng, bigip_error_maps.dat, ...??)

 

 

Thanks.

    Hi Jose,

     

     

    You can send specific log messages to a different file using syslog-ng customizations to filters and destinations. The way to implement this changed in 9.4.2. For pre-9.4.2 you can edit the syslog-ng.conf file directly. For 9.4.2 and higher, you can use a syslog include file and bpsh.

     

     

    Here are a few related links for syslog-ng:
