Better try different examples as there were some irule lx changes between versions from what I remember  

 

4.1.1. Lab 1 - Creating and Implementing an LX iRule (f5-agility-labs-irules.readthedocs.io)

 

 

See the below link as it is for newer versions than 12.1/13.1:

 

Getting Started with iRules LX, Part 4: NPM & Best Practices | DevCentral (f5.com)

 

 

Keep in mind that LX has some bottleneck even if you make it work as there is internal channel between the irule that triggers the LX and the irulelx, so it is not for very heavy utilization.

    Hi Nikoolayy1, thanks for your answer,

    as far as I know there are two ways to implement RuleLX - one called RPC which as you mentioned regular irule call iRuleLX - those work fine.

    But there is also a possibility to run iRuleLX - Javascript script without attaching to regualr irule - called iRuleLX streaming mode - which doesn't seem to work for me.

    Thanks,
