Setup Remote Syslog

From Useful Knowledge

Q: How do I set up my F5 Load Balancer to output syslog entries to a remote server (e.g. splunk)

A: If you have and LTM v10+

   1. Log in to the command line.
   2. To add a single remote syslog server, type a command similar to the following:
      bigpipe syslog remote server { {host }}
      e.g. bigpipe syslog remote server {monitor.company.com {host 192.168.99.99}}

      To add multiple remote syslog servers, type a command similar to the following:
      bigpipe syslog remote server { {host } {host } ... }
      bigpipe syslog remote server {monitor.company.com {host 192.168.99.99} watcher.company.com {host 192.168.99.88} ... }
   3. To save the configuration, type the following command:
      bigpipe save
