Hi Wally,
This is the right forum for monitoring and management questions like this.
It's not very clear, but you need to prefix the variable names with a dollar sign in the request logging profile's template setting. If you want to print the actual variable name you can use two dollar signs. Here's a sample template as viewed in the GUI:
$$CLIENT_IP:$$CLIENT_PORT=$CLIENT_IP:$CLIENT_PORT
And here is the syslog output:
$CLIENT_IP:$CLIENT_PORT=10.1.0.115:47140
I'll submit a request to update the manual and online help to clarify this.
