NSX logging of pool member upness

In NSX Load balancer - is  it possible to see if the history of pool members' upness for a time period?

I am troubleshooting an issue and want to verify if one server or the other is ever becoming

unavailable.

Pool Member Last State Change, or Log Insight content pack for NSX may be helpful

show service load balancer pool

nsxedge> show service loadbalancer pool

NSX Load Balancer Logging of Pool Members?

Log insight with the latest NSX-V content pack also has the same info in the "Load Balancer - VIP" section on the "VIP pool member status" graph

NSX Load Balancer - Test Plan

When backend pool member is down and/or the whole VIP is down; the Edge will generate a syslog message.

Edge Load Balancer Logs may be seen from the Edge CLI as follows:

Use the show log [follow | reverse] command in the NSX Edge CLI.
