AltostratusiRule to redirect header to a specific node
Hello we created an iRule to redirect header with a specific value to a particular node. But, we were not able to specify the node name and had to specify the node IP address. Is there a way to specify node/member name instead of the IP?
iRule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::header exists test]} {
set node [HTTP::header value test]
node $node 80
}
}
Hi mahanth,
node command only supports IP address.

You can create pools having one member for each node.
pool <pool_name>
mahanthHello,
Can I get the node IP from the pool name and eventually pass them as parameters.
Something like: (but the problem is, it doesn't take tmsh commands)
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::header exists test]} {
set POOLNAME [LB::server pool]
set NODENAME [HTTP::header value test]
for POOLMEMBER in `tmsh list ltm pool $POOLNAME | grep : | sort | awk '{print $1}'`; do
if { [string tolower $POOLMEMBER] equals [string tolower $NODENAME] } {
pool $POOLNAME member ($(tmsh list ltm node $POOLMEMBER_NAME | grep "address")) 80
break
}
done
}
}
