To configure a BIG-IP system to send log messages to remote Syslog servers, the administrator must navigate to the logging configuration section within the Configuration Utility. The correct path is System > Logs > Configuration. This area allows for the creation and management of log publishers and log destinations, including remote high-speed log destinations for protocols like Syslog, Splunk, and ArcSight. Here, the administrator can define the IP address and port for the new Syslog servers.

A. System > Configuration > Local Traffic is used for configuring LTM objects like virtual servers and pools, not system-level logging.

C. System > Logs > Audit is a viewer for the audit log, which tracks configuration changes. It is not used to configure log destinations.

D. System > Configuration > Device contains device-specific settings like network interfaces, HA configuration, and certificates, but not logging settings.

"You can configure the BIG-IP system to log messages to remote servers... The first step in configuring remote high-speed logging is to create a pool of logging servers." The GUI path for this configuration is System > Logs > Configuration > Log Destinations.
