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)
