/var/log/ltm is 0bytes

I have a pair of LTM's that I just upgraded from 9.3.1->10.0.1 that have 0byte /var/log/ltm log files. How can I get this file populating again? Restarting syslog-ng did nothing.

 

 

Thanks!

    Hi Josh,

     

     

    Did you/do you have a custom syslog-ng configuration?

     

     

    If you create a simple iRule with the following, do you see anything logged to /var/log/ltm?

     

     

    when RULE_INIT {

     

    log local0. "test to ltm log file"

     

    }

     

     

    You don't need to add the rule to a VIP--just create it.

    Aaron,

     

     

    It looks like a "b load" caused the log to start populating again. No custom syslog-ng config.

     

     

    Thanks,
