Remote Logging Setup through F5 GUI

Hi Dev Central Team,

I'm running 11.6 Hotfix 3 on a active/standby physical F5 pair. I want to enable remote logging so i can see when pool members are marked down, etc. Going to System, Logs, Configuration, Remote Logging I can see the following dialog window: Remote IP: Remote Port: 514 Local IP: Remote Syslog Server List (with Add/Delete buttons) Update

However, i plugin these values, and click on update, nothing happens: Remote IP: Remote Port: 514 Click on Update

I've seen others running command line options like the below, but that seems odd since there is a GUI available with visible option to Add/Update, etc. Any idea how to get the GUI working? I'm not keen on running these commands, and have no QA lab to try them in first, so it just seems dangerous, and kludgy, especially considering the price tag on this thing.

1. Create route (or check default gateway on management interface) tmsh create sys management-route IP_SYSLOG gateway IP_GATEWAY_ADMIN

    

2. Delete previous syslog configuration (if it was) tmsh modify sys syslog include none

    

3. Configure syslog (At least use this command, if you work with UDP syslog, just replace tcp by udp) tmsh modify sys syslog include "destination remote_server {tcp(\"IP_SYSLOG\" port (514));};filter f_alllogs {level (debug...emerg);};log {source(local);filter(f_alllogs);destination(remote_server);};"

    

4. Commit the configuration tmsh save sys config
