Note: 

  • For logs coming from APM, only the BSD syslog format is supported.

  • For LTM along with APM deployment, remote syslog configuration is not required. Based on the signatures in the APM, the collector processes only APM logs.

  • The F5 BIG-IP APM event collector supports multi-threading logs from LTM 11.6 device.
