Counting unique web sessions via iRule?

Hi Joe,

 

 

Do you want to count app sessions or just individual GET requests to a specific URI?

 

 

Which LTM version are you running? The options vary a bit depending on which version you're running.

 

 

In general, you could use an iRule to increment a stats profile each time the condition you want to check for is reached. You could add a "secret" URI which allows an admin to reset the stats. Similarly you could enable/disable the counting if a specific URI is accessed. You could limit access to these URIs based on source IP or some other request characteristic.

 

 

Here is an article from Joe with a great example of using an iRule and stats profile together:
