Remote Logging Configuration is DSC

Hi,

 

I'm encountering an issue while configuring the remote logging of a DSC. While I can optionally set the local IP, I cannot define which interface to use for remote logging. When no local IP is configured, the logs are send through the routing table of TMOS. I need to send the logs through the management interface, instead of the traffic interfaces. I can reach my goal when configuring the local IP as the one from the management interface. The poor thing is, that the configuration needs to be synchronized after configuration. When I then synchronize the configuration, the other nodes configuration doesn't have the management IP set, instead there is no local IP configured anymore and the traffic interfaces will be used to send out syslog traffic.

 

Is there any way to configure remote logging in a DSC without synchronizing this part of the configuration or is there a way to change the routing of the syslog-ng to use the management interface as default? I saw very much users modifying the syslog-ng configuration itself, instead of using the builtin configuration.

 

Unfortunately the documentation does only claim to set the local IP to a non-floating selfIP in HA configuration (https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13080): Note: For BIG-IP systems in a high availability (HA) configuration, the non-floating self IP address is recommended if using a Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) based IP address. From my understanding and experience this would end in the same issue, because the non-floating selfIP is not synchronized, but the remote logging configuration needs to be synchronized.

 

I'm very thankful for every hint.
