Hi,dear irule

 

I meet a new requirement recently

 

 

there is an URL: http://cjj.cjj.com/select

 

I wanna gather the stats :

 

how many IPs hit this url: such as ,10.0.0.1 ;10.0.0.2;10.0.0.3

 

how many times per each ip hit this as 10.0.0.1 10 times

 

10.0.0.2 200times

 

10.0.0.3 1times

 

 

 

how to achieve this

    Hi Jucao,

     

     

    I'd actually suggest using High Speed Logging to send a syslog message to a remote (pool of) syslog server(s) and then do your parsing there off of LTM. This will save CPU and memory on LTM. For details on this, see this recent post:

     

     

    Log unique Client Addresses per (Hour|Day|Etc)

    Yes. You can use the tables. But be aware that although the tables are good, keeping stats in there for a month is probably overkill. And you don't need to.

     

     

    What Id' suggest is a balance between using tables and using HSL (Or SIDEBAND connections) to update an external server with the stats. SImilar to the method I used in the LDAP stats counting and reporting iRUles.
