NimbostratusiRule Total Executions VS Virtual Server Requests
Hello All,
I am trying to wrap my head around something I have trouble understanding.
I have 2 Virtuals with very similar iRules: ( same irule with different DataGroups )
when RULE_INI...

CirrusHi,
First of all, the total execution is reset when you update the irule or when you press reset to do it manually. The counter increment only when there is an action triggered on the event. Are you sure that both tests are the same and trigger the same workflow on the HTTP_REQUEST event ?
shlomi_133455Hi, first of all thank you for your fast response. I know that Edit and Reset clear the statistics, I reset the statistics couple of times today to get to my conclusion. second, my Virtual represents a WebService, all of the requests for the WebService are qualified as HTTP_request as much as i know, am i wrong?- Yann_DesmarestAs long as, your requests are RFC compliant to HTTP, requests should trigger the HTTP_EVENT. But in your case, I think that the counter increase only if you trigger "virtual BlockedIP"
- shlomi_133455that also doesn't make any sense as my blockedIP virtual doesn't get enough traffic from these irules. also i can see in my pool that 99% of the traffic does get through on both Virtual and still the behavioral is different
- Yann_DesmarestStrange, on my lab, counter increase only when a command is launched within the HTTP_REQUEST event.
