Modify Web Application Security Log Profile

Modifying a logging profile to monitor application security events

A logging profile configured on BIG-IQ Centralized Management determines the kind of events that the system logs, and where the system stores these events. You can define a logging profile to record events from multiple virtual servers, from multiple devices. Changes to your security settings might require you to adjust the information that is recorded by your existing logging profile. You can edit an existing logging profile to improve your monitoring capabilities.

Edit object logging profiles

Your system must have data collection device (DCD) configured to your BIG-IQ device.
You can edit logging profiles to change the kind of information the system should log, and where you would like to store the logged data.
