Review log profiles
Before you deploy a log profile to an NGINX instance or Config Sync Group, you may want to review it. F5 NGINX One Console creates a log profile for your F5 WAF for NGINX security logging.
From NGINX One Console, select WAF > Log Profiles. Select the name of the log profile that you want to review. You’ll see the following tabs:
-
Details: Displays log profile information, including:
- Last modified date and time (for example, 1/16/2026, 3:35:25 PM PST)
- Total deployments
- Log profile JSON configuration
-
Deployments: Shows deployment details for each instance or Config Sync Group, including:
- Compiled version
- Deployment status
- Date deployed
- Whether the latest log profile JSON was deployed
-
Bundles: Lists all WAF compiler versions with the following information:
- Compiler version
- Compilation status (Compiled, Not compiled, or Compiling)
- Actions to compile or download the compiled bundle
From the NGINX One Console, you can also manage existing log profiles. In the Log Profiles screen, identify a log profile, and select Actions. From the menu that appears, you can:
- Edit: Opens the log profile configuration editor where you can reconfigure settings. See Configure log profiles for details.
- Make a Copy: Creates a new log profile by copying the JSON content into a new log profile object. You can use an existing log profile as a baseline for further customization.
- Deploy: Applies the latest revision of the log profile to the configured instances and Config Sync Groups.
- Download JSON: Downloads the log profile JSON configuration.
- Manage Bundles: Opens a view to manage compiled bundles for different WAF compiler versions.
- Delete: Removes the log profile. Once confirmed, you’ll lose all work you’ve done on that log profile.
