AltostratusWhat is logged in /var/log/ecm on an F5 BIG-IP LTM
Environment is 16.1.3.2. Security people are asking for contents of /var/log/ecm trying to match it up to the contents of the same file on an Uplogix terminal server.
We don't see the same thing at all. What is the default for this file on an F5 BIG-IP LTM.
Any help appreciated.
