Actual exam question for F5's F5CAB5 exam
Question #: 36
Topic #: 5
A BIG-IP Administrator makes a configuration change to the BIG-IP device. Which file logs the message regarding the configuration change?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The BIG-IP system uses the audit log to track administrative actions and configuration changes.
* Audit Logging Functionality: When a user modifies the configuration via the Configuration Utility (GUI), the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh), or iControl, the system records the event in the audit log.
This includes the name of the user who made the change, the timestamp, and the specific command or object that was modified.
* Log Location: The audit log is stored at /var/log/audit.
* Evaluation of Other Options:
* /var/log/messages (Option A) contains general system and kernel messages but is not the primary source for configuration change details.
* /var/log/secure (Option B) primarily logs authentication and authorization attempts (logins and logouts).
* /var/log/user.log (Option D) is a generic Linux log file for user-level applications and does not track BIG-IP LTM configuration changes.
