Change iRule variable without reloading rule

Hello,     I need to be able to change the value of a variable that is used in my iRule, without editing the irule and having to reload it (which would cause service interruption.)   ...

Hi Scott,

 

 

In order to update the configuration running in memory to reflect a change to an external class (aka datagroup) file, you'd need to reload the configuration. So I think it would be easier to use a standard datagroup and reference that from the iRule. You could change the datagroup value from the command line using 'b class' or tmsh in 10.x or via iControl in any version.
