when HTTP_REQUEST would be the event trigger.

 

 

What is your level of access on the BIG-IP device you are running? I have a QA F5 for testing stuff on, but when I have to test something on the production unit, I just set up another virtual server using a private IP and utilize all the same iRules, pools and profiles of the Virtual Server that I am debugging. Then I create an entry on my windows unit's host file that aims the url to the new virtual sever that I created. Then you can send requests back and forth from your own machine, using a valid url to analyze and debug things at will.

 

 

I had to get approved to have my own test VIP on the unit, but it can save a lot of time when troubleshooting things like this and keeps you from stepping on production traffic.
