AltostratusProblem with sending BotDefense logs to remote server
Hi,
I have a question about sending logs to a remote log-management server.
When I want to create a bot defense logging profile, it doesn't offer me a remote server in the config menu, but only a local storage, am I doing something wrong? I'm already using a remote server for ASM..
thank you for any advice
=====================
I set the same for ASM and the option is already there - I use it fine

Hey! You're not doing anything wrong bot defense logging uses a different logging profile setup than ASM. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support remote log servers directly like ASM does. You’d need to forward the logs manually from local storage or use something like iRules or external log forwarding tools to get them to your remote server. Bit of a hassle, I know.

Hi printerdriversupport,
thank you very much for your advice and ideas for solving the situation using alternative methods.
I´m going to try to use the mentioned iRules, it looks like a way to win! 👍- Juergen_Mang

The recommended and standard F5 way is to create a Log Profile as Daniel mentioned it.

Hi Michal06,
you need to configure remote logging. When you have a remote publisher configured, you can select it from the dropdown.
