Capturing SOAP envelope

I am trying to capture all or part of a SOAP envelope and I am not sure how to reference the fields therein. I want to capture the contents if it contains the web service with the root element in soap body: resetLdapPassword. The attached sample is an envelope I would like to capture because they are using the resetLdapPassword element.

 

 

Thanks

    Edit: Nevermind, looks like XML::soap is deprecated. I'll dig something up.

    This might be the way to go:

    You'll be capturing all the data, but do you simply want to log those envelopes?

    my last reply appeared to paste correctly, but i see that it didn't. the envelope i am trying to capture is one as shown in my original attachment to this post.

    Understood Tom, but how do you want to capture it? Log it to your local traffic manager logs?

    Chris,

     

     

    I neglected to mention i am running 9.4.8. is the article that Jason provided version 10? I don't see the option to create an XML profile in the services section in profile creation.

    Yep...v10. Would have to upgrade if that was the only option.

     

     

    Since you're on 9.x, you can use XML::soap but that goes away in v10 so I can't advise that. Might just have to use tcp::collect or HTTP::collect. You can read about both on the iRules commands page.
