Nimbostratussend Request Logging through Management IP
Hi, We have configured Big IP LTM - Request Logging to send logs to an HSL syslog Server. But I didn't find any way to send those logs through the management IP , so that it doesn't use application...
According to the following article it is not possible to configure request logging to be sent out via the MGMT port (but you can do it by using an iRule and applying it to a virtual server).

MVPIVD On the F5 some configuration exists that will only use the routed interfaces of the device rather than the management IP (interface) of the device. You can test this theory with HSL but going into the CLI and adding a management interface route to the destination but pointed at the appropriate gateway for the management interface. This is assuming that your management interface sits on a different network than the routed interfaces. The following command should be the syntax.
create sys management-route <name> <destination_IP> <destination_mask> <gateway_IP>
If for some reason this syntax doesn't work for you I would start hitting the ? after "management-route" and follow the sub-menus it displays.
