NimbostratusWrite an LTM log message
Greetings.
I'd like to do the following.
LTM
ltm = F5::IControl.new(ltm_name, username, password, ["LocalLB.VirtualServer"]).get_interfaces["LocalLB.VirtualServer"]
priority = 3
release_number = 12345
ltm.add_rule(["virtual_server"], [[{:rule_name => "Maintenance", :priority => priority}]])
ltm.log("local0", "Maintenance irule added to Vserver with priority {priority} for releaseL {release_number}")
I looked at iControl :: Log and nothing really stood out. Is there something out there that can do this?
crosson_16669Yea this wouldn't work. Thanks for replying Joe.
iControl is designed to manage the control plane (configuration). The Log interface is used to configure and monitor the logging on the system and their isn't a way from iControl to do so. The only way I can think of to add an entry to the log file programmatically would be to write an iRule (which exists on the data plane) that looks for a given URL and then issues a log statement. Kind of a hassle though to do it.
