Opened: Sep 13, 2024

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Protocol inspection in the security log profile was not activated/enabled when First log profile with Empty publisher is already attached to the virtual server.

Impact

Inconsistency in configuration behavior.

Conditions

1. Create a first Protocol Inspection log profile (for example, Empty log publisher) and attach to virtual server (VS). 2. Create a second Protocol Inspection log profile (for example, local-db) and attach to VS. 3. Event logs not shown on local db which is not expected. Therefore, the protocol inspection log profile attached later to the virtual server is not effective.

Workaround

Run the below command to detach the profiles from virtual server (VS) and attach the required log profile first. tmsh modify ltm virtual <VS Name> security-log-profiles none

Fix Information

None
