Deploy "F5 WAF Security for Splunk by Nexinto" like every other App by uploading it using the WebGUI or extracting it to $SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/apps. Restart Splunk afterwards.

In a distributed environment the app has to be deployed to every Search head and Indexer. Make sure the app is also deployed on the Host or Forwarder receiving the events from the F5 devices.

With default settings the app will create an index “f5_asm_live” and a TCP input on port 10005 using sourcetype syslog_f5asm. You can customize these settings by changing the TCP port in inputs.conf.

5. Set Response Logging to Off.
6. For the protocol setting, select TCP.
7. For the IP Address setting, type the name of the host providing the TCP input (forwarder or indexer)
8. For the Port setting type the default value 10005.
