+short_description: Manages log destinations on a BIG-IP.
+description:
+  - Manages log destinations on a BIG-IP.
+version_added: 2.6
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the name of the log destination.
+    required: True
+  description:
+    description:
+      - The description of the log destination.
+  type:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the type of log destination.
+      - Once created, this parameter cannot be changed.
+    choices:
+      - remote-high-speed-log
+      - remote-syslog
+    required: True
+  pool_settings:
+    description:
+      - This parameter is only available when C(type) is C(remote-high-speed-log).
+    suboptions:
+      pool:
+        description:
+          - Specifies the existing pool of remote high-speed log servers where logs will be sent.
+          - When creating a new destination (and C(type) is C(remote-high-speed-log)), this parameter
+            is required.
+      protocol:
+        description:
+          - Specifies the protocol for the system to use to send logs to the pool of remote high-speed
+            log servers, where the logs are stored.
+          - When creating a new log destination (and C(type) is C(remote-high-speed-log)), if this
+            parameter is not specified, the default is C(tcp).
+        choices:
+          - tcp
+          - udp
+      distribution:
+        description:
+          - Specifies the distribution method used by the Remote High Speed Log destination to send
+            messages to pool members.
+          - When C(adaptive), connections to pool members will be added as required to provide enough
+            logging bandwidth. This can have the undesirable effect of logs accumulating on only one
+            pool member when it provides sufficient logging bandwidth on its own.
+          - When C(balanced), sends each successive log to a new pool member, balancing the logs among
+            them according to the pool's load balancing method.
+          - When C(replicated), replicates each log to all pool members, for redundancy.
+          - When creating a new log destination (and C(type) is C(remote-high-speed-log)), if this
+            parameter is not specified, the default is C(adaptive).
+        choices:
+          - adaptive
+          - balanced
+          - replicated
+  syslog_settings:
+    description:
+      - This parameter is only available when C(type) is C(remote-syslog).
+    suboptions:
+      syslog_format:
+        description:
+          - Specifies the method to use to format the logs associated with the remote Syslog log destination.
+          - When creating a new log destination (and C(type) is C(remote-syslog)), if this parameter is
+            not specified, the default is C(bsd-syslog).
+          - The C(syslog) and C(rfc5424) choices are two ways of saying the same thing.
+          - The C(bsd-syslog) and C(rfc3164) choices are two ways of saying the same thing.
+        choices:
+          - bsd-syslog
+          - syslog
+          - legacy-bigip
+          - rfc5424
+          - rfc3164
+      forward_to:
+        description:
+          - Specifies the management port log destination, which will be used to forward the logs to a
+            single log server, or a remote high-speed log destination, which will be used to forward the
+            logs to a pool of remote log servers.
+          - When creating a new log destination (and C(type) is C(remote-syslog)), this parameter is required.
+  partition:
+    description:
+      - Device partition to manage resources on.
+    default: Common
+  state:
+    description:
+      - When C(present), ensures that the resource exists.
+      - When C(absent), ensures the resource is removed.
+    default: present
+    choices:
+      - present
+      - absent
