NimbostratusAN IRULE THAT ADDS A STRING AS AN HTTP RESPONSE TO ANY POOL MEMBER CHOSEN BY THE F5
I need to load balance an application running on two pool members, 172.30.114.56:8080, 172.30.114.58:8080; However, on the two, i only get the page, "Tomcat is running".
However,the service only loads when i type either, 172.30.114.56:8080/arsys, or 172.30.114.58/arsys.
I need an irule that can add a string to the http response, such that, after the load-balancing decision,the string /arsys is added so, the page can load.
I don't know if the Stream Profile can work for this.
I tried the below irule, but its not working.
NOTE: VIP is 172.30.114.60.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] equals "172.30.114.60" and [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/" } { HTTP::redirect ";; } } The requirement is that the service is to be accessed over https,but i still want to test basic http vip for it,172.30.114.60, but its not loading currently to any of the servers,

Given what you have said for the main VIP 172.30.114.60 try the following
when LB_SELECTED { switch [LB::server addr] { "172.30.114.56" - "172.30.114.58" { if {[HTTP::uri] eq "/"} { HTTP::uri "/arsys" } } } }

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/" } { This is to rewrite the URI to the NEW Arsys URI log -noname local0. "Rewrite for / [HTTP::host] [HTTP::uri]" HTTP::uri "/arsys" This is to select the arsys POOL listening on 8080 log -noname local0. "This was processed for Arsys"

Hi,
there is a problem with your condition... URI always starts with / 🙂
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] equals "172.30.114.60" and [HTTP::path] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect "/arsys" } }this irule will work with both HTTP and HTTPS

Thanks so much everyone, The irule finally worked. I made a mistake of adding the routes on the standby unit instead of the active unit.
The headache that a little diligence can save.
