Request Log Forwarding Granularity

We would like an option to limit the type of request logs we are forwarding, as we are seeing a large increase in ingestion after migrating to Distributed Cloud. We would like to be able to omit certain filetypes or keywords found in request paths. For example, if the URI contains "example.jpg" we would like option to not forward based on it being a .jpg or containing "example". This option is available at the load balancer level; we would like to replicate this at the WAF level.

    I find that the request logs that are forwarded that are the most beneficial are the errors provided by XC for the 4xx and 5xx codes as outlined under https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000146828. It would be excellent to split those off to their own global log forwarding type.
