LTM request logging
We want to create a request logging profile in F5 to find out whether transactions/HTTPS requests are made toward pool members or not? The application team suspects transaction failed/timeout at the F5 layer. Can someone help me with how to find that or how we can use request logging for further troubleshooting
Request Logging missing SERVER_IP
Using various devcentral articles and the Request Logging Profiles article I've made this template request logging template. It works pretty well, aside from the bold variables. I really need the $SERVER_IP and $SERVER_PORT information. Any ideas to why server and port isn't logged? TMOS version: 13.1.1.5 Request Logging Profile: Parent: request-log Request Logging: Enabled Template: $DATE_NCSA, $CLIENT_IP, $CLIENT_PORT, $VIRTUAL_IP, $VIRTUAL_PORT, $VIRTUAL_NAME, $VIRTUAL_POOL_NAME, $SERVER_IP, $SERVER_PORT, "$HTTP_PATH", "$HTTP_REQUEST", $HTTP_STATCODE, $RESPONSE_SIZE, $RESPONSE_MSECS, "$Referer", "${User-agent}" HSL Protocol: TCP Pool Name: syslog_pool Example from the server client: 203.0.113.245 vIP: 192.168.132.132 server: 172.17.17.15 [05/Jul/2019:12:28:26 +0200], 203.0.113.245, 2825, 192.168.132.132, 443, company_sales_https_vs, , , , "/Assets/Portal/Applications/applications.min.js", "GET /Assets/Portal/Applications/applications.min.js?q=1507g512 HTTP/1.1", , , , "https://domain.local/news/2018/nov/station/", "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.1.0; SM-J530F) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.101 Mobile Safari/537.36"HTTP/2 and Request Logging
On our BIG-IP (Version 12.1.2 Build 0.93.249) we tried adding HTTP/2 Profile to one vServer. The Browser answered with "ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED". After some troubleshooting, we identified the "Request Logging Profil" as the main cause. After reading this article I tend to accept that the high speed logging (hsl) writes variables before the HTTP_Request event and therefore can't handle the HTTP/2 Stream. Is the only way to log requests while using HTTP/2 via an iRule or is this issue fixed in later BIG IP Versions?
