It doesn't but it could. LVS does make statistics available.
Another question is whether logging is a good idea. The director is a
router with slightly different rules than a regular router. It is designed
to handle 1000's requests/sec and operate diskless (eg on a flash card).
There's no way you can log all connections to a disk and maintain
throughput. You couldn't even review the contents of the logs. People do
write filter rules, looking for likely problems and logging suspicious
packets. Even reviewing those files overwhelmes most people.
