How to monitor a cookie based session end-to-end

Hello,

 

I am new to F5. We are in teh process of implementing cookie insert mode persistence for one of our web sites. Is there any way to monitor a session end to end, that from client IP to the node IP to show that the session persistence. We are trying to get some pre persistence and post persistence data.

 

 

Thanks.

    What you might want to look into is something called STATS profile

    In theory you should be able to write an IRULE that can pull information of the session cookie and insert them into the stats profile which is stored for x amount of time. Within that same IRULE you can pull the information and output it a webpage format.

     

     

    I hope this helps
