Namespace HSL
DESCRIPTION
These commands allow you to send data to a pool of servers via High
Speed Logging. High Speed Logging was designed to be a high volume, low
overhead logging mechanism. HSL supports logging via TCP or UDP.
Informal testing has shown CPU and memory utilization for HSL to be
very low (<10% CPU, almost no additional memory utilization). For
example, you could use these commands to:
* Log all HTTP requests and responses processed via the LTM by
sending the data to a pool of remote servers.
* Log the SSL cipher name, version, size for each SSL session before
restricting ciphers
* Log every load balancing failure (not just a member failing a
monitor)
* Supplement or replace tcpdump for troubleshooting layer 7 issues
(it can be much easier to log the decrypted content rather than
decrypting SSL with ssldump, etc)
