Unable to Forward APM and AFM Logs to AWS CloudWatch Using Telemetry Streaming

Hello Team,

I am trying to forward AFM (Network Firewall) logs and APM logs from F5 BIG-IP to Amazon CloudWatch using F5 Telemetry Streaming.

F5 BigIP version - BIG-IP 17.1.0.1 Build 0.0.4 Point Release 1

Current Behavior

When I configure the security logging profile with local-db-publisher, I am able to see logs on the BIG-IP dashboard:

Security → Event Logs → Network Firewall

Security → Event Logs → Access

However, when I change the logging profile to use a remote log publisher, I am unable to receive the logs in CloudWatch.

My Decalartion

{

"class": "Telemetry",

"My_Listener": {

"class": "Telemetry_Listener",

"port": 6514

},

"My_Consumer": {

"class": "Telemetry_Consumer",

"type": "AWS_CloudWatch",

"region": "us-east-1",

"logGroup": "loggrpname",

"logStream": "logstreamname",

"username": "Access Key",

"passphrase": {

"cipherText": "Secret Key"

}

}

}

Telemetry Architecture for AFM

Security Log Profile → Log Publisher → Remote High Speed Log → telemetry_pool → 127.0.0.1:6514 → Telemetry Listener → Telemetry Consumer → CloudWatch

Configuration Summary

  • AFM policy and APM access policy attached to the virtual server
  • Security logging profile attached to the virtual server
  • Log Publisher configured
  • Remote High-Speed Log destination configured
  • Pool member configured as 127.0.0.1:6514
  • Telemetry Streaming declaration deployed.
