About logging global server load-balancing decisions
When BIG-IP® DNS receives a DNS query for a wide IP, in order to send a response, the system makes a load-balancing decision. The decision is based on the load-balancing method configured on the wide IP, the number of pools associated with the wide IP, and the applicable number of members in each pool.
You can send information about how BIG-IP DNS made the load-balancing decision to the high-speed remote logs; reviewing the logs can help determine how to fine-tune your network.
Configuring logs for global server load-balancing decisions
Ensure that at least one wide IP exists in the BIG-IP®
DNS configuration, and that high-speed remote logging is configured
on the device.
When you want to view the global server load-balancing decisions made by BIG-IP DNS in the
high-speed remote logs, configure the verbosity of the information that displays in the
logs.
