iRule question for capturing simple VIP TCP stats
I am just getting started with iRules and have what I hope is a basic question. We need to report, on a daily basis, the total amount and maximum number of TCP connections established on one Virtual Server.
Not sure if it matters, but like most of our VSs, it uses SSL on the client side. At the current time OpCenter personnel are just using the GUI and retrieving these MAXIMUM and TOTAL stats from the "Statistics: Virtual Servers" screen. The danger here is several of us frequently reset these stats during fault isolation.
I had a look at "Content Type Tracking" which is part of the "Top 50 iRules '08" bundle. This seems like the proper type of solution where a STATS profile will store these connection counts independently.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
