Does iRules get cached on the F5 device?

Hi Team,

 

We created a test iRule with just displaying the decoded and encoded version of the URI. We made little changes to the iRule, but seems like the previous version of the iRule is picking up. Sometimes, even after deleting the iRule, we can see the logger messages from it on the ltm logs for new requests. How is this possible? Does iRules get cached somewhere, which we have to clear it before we upload new changes/delete it?

 

Thanks, Neeharika

    No, but changes will not take effect on existing connections. You will have to either clear your connection, or open a new browser between changes.

    You can use cURL to see any changes immediately since it doesn't keep the connection. Another option is to use a (dedicated) private browser window that you can close between checks. Otherwise you'd have to close all browser windows every time.

     

    Other than that you'll have to clear the connections, as Sinivas stated.
