The devices should be capable of sending logs to NLS via syslog. I would suggest creating new inputs for each device type - one for F5 and one for netscaler, and then applying filters to those inputs so the messages are parsed properly.

have some details on how the filters could look(ultimately it depends on how the device's logs are configured). If you need any further assistance, please provide samples of the logs that are sent.

First configure the F5 to send logs over to NLS. Once that is done and if you'd like to parse the message further, please provide samples of the log and we can help further.

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... ew-98.html has details regarding logstash/grok filtering configuration. This outlines roughly what needs to be done but we cannot provide specifics unless we know what the logs look like.
