According to F5 documentation (K52015891: Troubleshooting BIG-IP power supply issues) the correct answer is:
“An error message may appear in the /var/log/ltm file similar to:
Chassis power supply 2 has experienced an issue. Status is as follows: FAN=bad; STATUS=bad.”

This means:
Hardware-related alerts for power supplies, fans, and chassis components are logged in "/var/log/ltm".
This is the correct log file to check when suspecting power supply outages.
