The BIG-IP's High Speed Logging (HSL) configuration supports three syslog formats for log destinations: in TMUI syslog, in tmsh RFC5424 or leave blank as it is the default; TMUI BSD Syslog, tmsh RFC3164; and TMUI Legacy BIG-IP, tmsh legacy_bigip. The only supported format for DoS Application Protection is syslog/RFC5424. If you have not previously assigned a security logging profile to a Protected Object using a DoS Profile with the HTTP family of vectors enabled, configuration validation will prevent you from assigning a security logging profile with the incorrect syslog format. However, once the correct configuration has been made, no further validation takes place and a configuration with invalid syslog settings will be accepted. Log messages will not be sent.
Loss of logging data.
You have a Protected Object with a DoS Protection profile with the HTTP family enabled. You have an HSL configuration using a remote-syslog destination using format syslog/RFC5424, and a Security Logging profile that references the publisher in that HSL configuration. You then update the remote-syslog destination to use another syslog format.
Continue using the supported syslog format: syslog/rfc5424.
The system now validates that when using a Remote Syslog destination for Application DoS logs, only the Syslog/rfc5424 format is allowed.
