Virtual server access logging

Hi All,

 

I have one requirement that we are using big ip LTM 11.x , In one of the virtual server is not allowing the connecting into members.

 

So when we trouble shooting , we have not find any access logs on the particular virtual server IP. So we want to identify the client ip's that has accessed the virtual server.

 

Can you please some one help on this. I am new to Big IP systems.

 

Regards, Muthu

    An iRule could do the trick;

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
 log local0. "Client with IP address [IP::client_addr] connected to VS XXXXX"
}

    But note that this will generate a log entry for every connection and if your traffic is high, this may be risky. You may want to look into High Speed Logging as an alternative.

    You say just 'on the particular virtual server'? Do you already get logs for the others?
