NimbostratusWhy bigip don´t show me the logs
Hi guys,
I´m Luis from Mexico, i configure an iRule that constains the command log.local then when i login to the bigip via CLI and try to view the logs that the iRule generate in tail -f /var/log/ltm, i don´t see anything. i don´t know why the bigip don´t show me logs. Need to configure something like syslogserver to locahost server or what should i? Can you help me please.

Are you logging using log local0. "message"? If so this would be written to /var/local/ltm by default.
Or are you using a custom syslog-ng configuration which sends the syslog messages to a remote server?
You might try opening a case with F5 Support on this. It should be a pretty quick diagnosis once they review a tech.out from the unit.

Luis_Valle_5601Yes i logging using log local0 "messages". But the logs don´t show it in Bigip via CLI.
smp_86112I'm pretty sure the period after the local0 string is important. Make sure your log statement looks like hoolio noted:
log local0. "message"I look for the message in /var/log/ltm.
