Symptoms

Audit Log Syslog Server entries will not transmit messages to remote syslog servers despite their configuration and creation appearing successful and the remote syslog server being fully reachable. /var/log/restjavad.X.log will log constraint messages like: [INFO][06 May 2021 05:36:09 PDT][/cm/adc-core/audit-logger AdcAuditLoggerCollectionWorker] Did not find own device , continue... [INFO][06 May 2021 05:36:09 PDT][/cm/global/audit-logger GlobalAuditLoggerCollectionWorker] Did not find own device , continue... [INFO][06 May 2021 05:36:09 PDT][/cm/shared/audit-logger SystemAuditLoggerCollectionWorker] Did not find own device , continue... [INFO][06 May 2021 05:36:09 PDT][/cm/firewall/audit-logger FWAuditLoggerCollectionWorker] Did not find own device , continue... [INFO][06 May 2021 05:36:10 PDT][/cm/access/audit-logger AccessAuditLoggerCollectionWorker] Did not find own device , continue...

Impact

BIG-IQ does not transmit messages to remote syslog servers and constantly logs "Did not find own device , continue..." messages to /var/log/restjavad.x.log.

Conditions

Workaround
