enabling/disabling maintenance page IRULE remotely from browser or Script without having to login to the LTM

Hey Michael, That's a good idea.. The only issue I would see is in real life maintenance windows run longer/shorter than expected.. How do you deal with that at your shop?

 

 

I think we could really simplify this rule, give control to the other teams, and possibly fix the issue of the original poster..

 

 

What if we defined the class as an "External File", you could do away with the whole start/stop time idea.. Then write the irule to direct (or not direct) traffic based on the matches in the external file... You could go at it from a few different angles..

 

 

You could then have scripts out there to change that file remotley..
