Hi,

 

 

Actually, this was on a v4.5.13 instance but two things

 

 

1) Can you do this from the CLI rather than GUI? Vi this part into a text file and then merge the config ( b merge). For some reason, the GUI would not take it but the CLI did.

 

 

2) Even from the CLI, you need to specify, severity level

 

 

log local0.info "Client IP:" + client_addr

 

 

to get it to work.

 

 

If this still doesnt work, then its down to a version difference. Let me know if that helps.
