NimbostratusiRule to Select pool by parsing
Hello, I want to Create an Irule that will forward a request coming to Site1.website.com to pool Site1. I want it to be generic so if i add another pool named SiteXYZ and assign another DNS record named SiteXYZ.website.com it will also take it. I am guessing it will be something like this:
when HTTP_REQUEST { set content [HTTP::host] set PoolName [split $content "."]
if { pool $PoolName[1] Exist } pool $PoolName[1] else return error of somekind
will that work?

Name the pools site1 and site2.... siteX..
it can be as easy as this.when HTTP_REQUEST { extract the first part of hostname. set poolname [getfield [HTTP::header host] "." 1] pool $poolname }To make sure you don't send user to an undefined pool name do this:
when HTTP_REQUEST { extract the first part of hostname. set poolname [getfield [HTTP::header host] "." 1] if { [catch {pool $poolname} id ] } { You can find this in the local traffic log from GUI or via : tail /var/log/ltm log local0. "Pool name $poolname does not exist yet." } }
shlomi_133455Thanks a lot, this is exactly what i was looking for. just Small FYI to whoever will use it in the future... Pools are case Sensitive so you need to take it under consideration when creating the redirect.
