AltostratusIRule to select IRule doesn't work even if the condition triggers
AltostratusHei @jaikumar_f5
As I mentioned in other reply I used the priority at the moment before actually checking your response. But I find your response to be the best and helpful for troubleshooting any such scenario. Thanks for the help.
I'm selecting this as the best response but would like to check with you, if setting the priority is a bad idea in this case?
NoctilucentSetting the priority is not a bad idea. It's always the design & requirements that define whether that app requires multiple irules & priorities in it.
There are environments where multiple irules would be used for different purpose. Some irules would be specific to security related & some would be related to app flow based.
Most times, security rules must be honoured than letting the traffic to flow through. So some orgs use the default irule order or some use the priority concept.
Lower priority events will be 1st executed then the higher priority events triggers. Though the lower events logic may be selected when processed, if there's an event with higher priority, it will be processed too & would override the manipulation. The default priority is 500.
