Remote Logging still going to /var/log/ltm

I used the log IP for an irule and the log lines are still going to /var/log/ltm.  I only want the output to skip /var/log/ltm/ and only output to the syslogs. Is that possible? Thanks   irule bein...

Thanks for this possible solution, but it is a bit more that what we want to setup right now. I just wanted to make sure I have the correct syntax to send the output of the iRule directly to the syslog we already have setup. When I run the iRule I see the output in both /var/log/ltm logs and on the syslog output, but I only want to see the output in the syslog. Thanks

Not in front of computer at the moment, but you could simply change the severity in the irule log statement. Presumably under the syslog settings, you have default or some other setting to only log high level issues. If you change the severity, and it is less than that configured for logging to /var/log/ltm them it will not be written to disk.
