F5 LTM: default send string

A Splunk customer of mine has set up the Irule to communicate with Splunk and take advantage of the Splunk for f5 Networks. The only thing that is sent udp:514 to splunk is what appears to be just a test message: "default send string".

Very novice at BigIP LTM, but know splunk pretty well....any suggestions on what needs to be configured on the LoadBalancer to get more robust logging?

BTW: It is not a sourcetype issue. This is the only syslog message we get from the loadbalancer at the moment.
