3.5. SSL Orchestrator Generic loggingΒΆ

The logs produced by the SSL Orchestrator Generic facility provide a summary of details during multiple stages of the client/server connection. The Information level of severity provides a single log message per-connection, summarizing connection properties, whether it was decrypted, and which Service Chain it was sent through. The Debug level of severity produces information at multiple stages while the connection is established and .

An example of the logging that is produced by the SSL Orchestrator Generic facility can be seen below. In this example the severity was set to Debug, which includes log messages of all levels of severity, including Information:

Note

To minimize impact on the BIG-IP system, F5 recommends that Debug logging only be enabled when advised by F5 Technical Support, and for as short a time as possible to collect the necessary diagnostic data.
