How can we set the persist to last only 5 minutes on the HTTP Connect for devices with the required header? Also if a new request comes in with the same match on another connection would the persist extend 5 minutes?

    To persist 5 minutes: persist uie [HTTP::header headerABC] 300 and yes, whenever a peristence record is matched, the 5 minutes timer resets.

    Ok so something like below.. Thanks for your help will test this. when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::header exists X-DeviceID] } { persist uie [HTTP::header X-DeviceID] 300 } elseif {[HTTP::header exists X-NewCust] } { persist uie [HTTP::header X-NewCust] 300 } else { persist source_addr } }
