it could be because you are searching on http::path, but im not 100% about this. But i have made a suggestion, that takes a slightly different approach:

            when HTTP_REQUEST {
              if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "diagnostics"} {
                pool pool_group2
                persist source_adr 255.255.255.255 1800 
                  }
             else { pool pool_group1 
              }
            }

yeah..was a bit unsure about that...so i just used http::uri out of old habit, and probably a lack of coffee:D

 

string tolower should almost be mandatory, if you ask me..has saved me countless hours of troubleshooting, because of end users using capital letters when typing in the url..
