write to syslog using iControl?

Joe, thanks for the iRule workaround to my problem.

 

 

I am surprised that nobody has asked F5 to support syslog messages directly through the iControl API.

 

 

iControl application developers need to log actions of their applications, so it makes sense to use the box's built-in syslog service for many reasons including security, convenience of keeping everything in one place, usage of only one protocol(SOAP) to talk to the box, etc...
