Hello Experts,

The given iRule did not work and caused service interruptions. I have changed the syntax as below that resolved the issue - 

serverside_idle_timeout 1 replaced with update_serverside_idle_timeout 1

{$serverside_idle_timeout} replaced with {[info exists update_serverside_idle_timeout] && $update_serverside_idle_timeout}

can someone explain me please what is the exact difference in the old and new syntax?
