Attempts to modify the ssh daemon logging level have no effect. The log level is always 'info' (the system default). Note: You might find sshd log messages in a different log file from prior releases. Beginning with 11.5.0, the system posts log messages from sshd in /var/log/ltm. In pre-11.5.0 releases, sshd messages appeared in /var/log/secure.
sshd continues to log info-level messages, so users are unable to filter ssh logs.
The results of this issue are evident when you modify sshd log-level by running a command similar to the following: tmsh modify /sys sshd {log-level error}. However, there are no special conditions to trigger the sshd log message delivery to /var/log/ltm or /var/log/secure.
None.
Setting the sshd log-level now correctly logs entries.
