Hello, I’m trying to configure F5’s to send the logs to Splunk server’s.

The scenario is We have a VIP configured on LTM 1 with port 9004(UDP) and splunk servers as backend servers on port 9004.

The Request is to F5’s should send the syslogs to the VIP configured on(LTM 1).

Can you please suggest me any deployment guide or any document to configure the F5’s to send the logs.

I have tried configuring using below document but i don’t see logs on the splunk. [404 Page not found | BIG-IP Documentation](https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-external-monitoring-implementations-12-0-0/4.html?sr=56843247)

Nyam, F5 has an iApp that can be used to gather and send data to splunk (Analytics iApp). [DevCentral - An F5 Technical Community](https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/f5-analytics-iapp)

You will also be required to install this app within your splunk deployment to make formatting and parsing that data useful

> Please note that this app makes use of the now deprecated Analytics iApp and is not supported. We recommend using https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2680/ instead

Thank you
