Define custom function (command ?)

proc's are disabled from within iRules due to performance issues with their blocking nature. If you want to use a set of code that functions on two events, your best bet is to write it twice. Another option is to define the TCL code in a global variable and then use the TCL eval command to execute it. This bypasses any of the load time error checking so use it at your own risk.

 

 

 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   set code {log local0. "this is executed from an eval statement"} 
   set error [catch { eval $code; } errVar]; 
   if { $error } { 
     log local0. "Error in code execution: $errVar"; 
   } 
 }

 

 

Hope this helps...
