  • Hi,

    Although I know how to do it directly in the syslog-ng.conf file I can't find a proper method to use to configure the BigIP. As far as I can tell there are no parameter that can be used to add the frac_digits(3) to syslog-ngs options{}.

    These are the parameters that can be used to modify/edit syslog-ng through tmsh:

    modify syslog
      options:
        auth-priv-from
        auth-priv-to
        cron-from
        cron-to
        daemon-from
        daemon-to
        description
        include
        iso-date
        console-log
        kern-from
        kern-to
        local6-from
        local6-to
        mail-from
        mail-to
        messages-from
        messages-to
        remote-servers
        user-log-from
        user-log-to
    edit syslog
      options:
        all-properties
        non-default-properties
    

    tmsh modify /sys syslog include "" will only append the string to the config file and can't be used to modify existing options.

    The linked solution (130080) only details how to log to a remote syslog.

  • Hi,

     

    you need to add option frac_digits (3) to your syslog-ng.conf file.

     

    syslog-ng can store fractions of a second in the timestamps. frac_digits() specifies the number of digits stored. Syslog-ng reference manual
