Connections log

Did this work for you Schin122 ? then please flag as answered.

For the next time it might be useful to start with looking at what is possible from the HTTP_REQUEST event https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/HTTP_REQUEST.html

To me it is always useful to learn be trying and doing.

Hi Schin,

Absolutely, you can expand your iRule to include the user agent, URI path, and a specific cookie.

Here’s how you can modify your existing iRule to log these additional parameters:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    # Log client IP address and destination host name
    log local0. "Client [IP::client_addr] request to [HTTP::host]"
    
    # Log user agent
    set user_agent [HTTP::header "User-Agent"]
    log local0. "User-Agent: $user_agent"
    
    # Log URI path
    set uri_path [HTTP::uri]
    log local0. "URI Path: $uri_path"
    
    # Log wcw authentication cookie
    if { [HTTP::cookie exists "wcw_auth"] } {
        set wcw_cookie [HTTP::cookie "wcw_auth"]
        log local0. "WCW Auth Cookie: $wcw_cookie"
    } else {
        log local0. "WCW Auth Cookie: Not Present"
    }
}

Explanation of the Added Parameters
User Agent:

set user_agent [HTTP::header "User-Agent"]: Retrieves the User-Agent header from the HTTP request.
log local0. "User-Agent: $user_agent": Logs the User-Agent value.

URI Path:

set uri_path [HTTP::uri]: Retrieves the URI path from the HTTP request.
log local0. "URI Path: $uri_path": Logs the URI path.

WCW Authentication Cookie:

if { [HTTP::cookie exists "wcw_auth"] }: Checks if the "wcw_auth" cookie exists.
set wcw_cookie [HTTP::cookie "wcw_auth"]: Retrieves the value of the "wcw_auth" cookie.
log local0. "WCW Auth Cookie: $wcw_cookie": Logs the cookie value if it exists.
log local0. "WCW Auth Cookie: Not Present": Logs a message if the cookie is not present.

By adding these lines to your iRule, you can log the additional information you need.
