Creating a process for changing irule applied to a virtual server

Rich

 

 

I've done something very similar for our services to cover maintenance mode functionality.

 

 

I came up with the following iRule, which allows an authorized user to hit a defined URI and enable/disable a maintenance window.

The above iRule is light on security, however I've updated our local copy to include both a Client IP filter and a HTTP Basic Authentication check...

 

Therefore if you've got multiple customers you could tweak the rule by having a different set of datagroups for each VS...

 

 

Let me know if you want a copy of the iRule including the above security features.
