How to check if an iRule is active

Hi Linda01,

in case you want to redirect a client with your virtual server it has to be of type "Standard" and needs an HTTP-profile assigned. The type "Performance-HTTP" is very limited in capabilities (supports just cookie insert and XFF insert, afaik).

If you change the configuration of your virtual server it will be necessary to close all connections from the client you are testing with because existing connections are not affected by the change.

In case of using i.e. Firefox it really means to close all firefox instances!

You can also temporarily add a log statement to your iRule to check the event is triggered:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   log local0. "New http request from client <[IP::client_addr]> received <[HTTP::method] [HTTP::uri] [HTTP::version]>, will be redirected"
   HTTP::redirect "http:://www.google.com"
}

From bash please run the following to track the new log events for /var/log/ltm facility:

tail -f /var/log/ltm  

Thanks, Stephan
