Looks like the only way here is by editing the /etc/syslog.conf file. Anyone have experience in that ?
I believe I will need to add IP's the following ways: - for example for bigip related messages (except bigd and sod messages):
BIG-IP facilities All bigip related messages go to this file except bigd and sod messages, which are local1 messages, and proxyd messages, which are local3.
local0.* /var/log/bigip local0.* @x.x.x.x local0.* @y.y.y.y local0.* @z.z.z.z
Kind regards, Frederik

- fcocquyt_104704Oct 23, 2015NimbostratusHi Patrick, FYI, I managed to do this change successfully. Steps to follow are: 1. Back up the current syslog.conf file: cp /etc/syslog.conf /etc/syslog-backup.conf 2. edit the syslog.conf file (add the necessary remote syslog IP's) with vi 3 save the new syslog.conf file ( :wq! ) 4 make sure the routing for the new syslog servers is OK. If needed: route add -net
