Global Log Receiver - Payloads
At present , Logging of bodies (request and response ) is not a supported capability . To be considered as a feature request, please add the feature request details here https://www.f5cloudideas.com/
Couple of questions:
1. If it's not possible why does the request log send `req_body` and `rsp_body` keys anyways?
2. Is it possible to send the payload to a third party server in any other feature?
Thanks for the help.

Could you explain the use-case/need for logging request and response bodies? At present, we dont support it as a feature, but for customers who enabled "API Discovery" on their http lb, we log request headers and body, response headers and body for a sample of requests . So, if you have purchased API Security SKU and enabled API Discovery feature, a sample of the request logs will have these fields populated and the rest of the logs these fields will be shown as "unknown"

Do you have a guide for me on how to enable the API Discovery?
Also can I control how much sampling is done?- Cameron_DelanoJul 24, 2023

Good day,
The video attached to the following article walks you through enabling the API protection capabilities, including discovery. The configuration walk through is covered in the first couple minutes of the video.
I am not aware of any way you can control sampling process. Sudhir may have a better answer to that piece.
Thanks!
Cameron
