Append to list stored in table key

Hi, First of all I wonder if this is good idea to store list in sub/table key - considering performance nad memory consummatum. Let's say it could be list containing no more that 10 IPs. Second I...

Kay,

I am stuck with static array usage:

{ $temp(session_id_counter) < $static::conf(session_id_limit) }

I tried to define this array in RULE_INIT using:

set static::conf(session_id_limit) 5

but when saving I am getting such error:

Dec 16 16:56:50 bigip11 err tmm[5640]: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/test_kay_table_log - can't set "static::conf(session_id_limit)": variable isn't array while executing "set static::conf(session_id_limit) 5"

I can use set ::conf(session_id_limit) 5 but then iRule is demoted from CMP.

Can't find right way to define static array but for some strange reson when I use:

set static::conf_my(session_id_limit) 5

there is no error??

Hi Piotr, if "conf" is already defined as classic variable [set conf 1] then you can't change it or add stuff to it using [set conf(abc) 1]. Try [unset -nocomlain conf] then use [set conf(abc) 1] again. Cheers, Kai

Strange, I can't see any set conf in my code. I assume that set conf is not the same as set static::conf, and I for sure do not have any static::conf defined. Weird. Piotr

Sorry for confusion. The above command was just an example to show the behavior of classic and array variables. $conf is not the same as static::conf but may be the same as ::conf ;-) So change the "Try [unset -nocomlain conf] then use [set conf(abc) 1] again" to " Try [unset -nocomlain static::conf] then use [set static::conf(abc) 1] again". Alternativly you may crawl the variable of the static namespase using [info vars static::co*] and then check the contained variable with [array exists static::conf] Cheers, Kai BTW: Just created static::conf(abc) in my own environment. At least its working for me...
