    did you save it before re-loading (i.e. tmsh save sys config)?

     

  • THanks you are right I missed save command , I still need to load it right to make it work after saving the config . Please advise if below steps are right 1)tmsh modify sys syslog remote-servers add { server1.net { host 10.1.1.1 remote-port 1514 } } 2)tmsh save sys config 3)tmsh load sys config

    no need.

     

  • one more query , when i setup syslog server , all the logs which we see on F5 under "System ›› Logs : Local Traffic" example pool member going down , should be going to syslog server right ? or I need to do any more configration for it . below is config which we have done .remote server server1.net { host 10.7.231.1 local ip none remote port 1514

    yes. if you are familiar with syslog-ng, you may review /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf configuration file.
