  • Do you have any error logs or the output from the LTM console?

     

    If your system has a Service Contract, raise a service request with F5 Support.

     

  • I checked in bash mode tail -f /var/log/ltm I can able to view Present logs ,How to check 5and 6 hour back logs

     

  • You need to search in the ltm log file for the time period of interest

     grep  /var/log/ltm

    if the logs have been compressed you can use zcat

     zcat /var/log/ltm.2.gz | grep 

  • This is weird,

    satndby device is rebooting every 3 seconds
    No device can go on boot and come back that up. Are you referring 3 mins ?

    Also search your /var/log/ltm with some keywords

    boot, reset, restart, action
    There will be logs indicating why your device is going on reboot.
