Is there an IRules to control active connections?

That looks great Bhattman! I am wondering what ways there are to remotely modify the global variable max_active_clients. I've worked out two ways but not sure if there is a better way,

 

 

1 - Use iControl to delete and recreate a dummy irule. On the creation of the irule it will automatically run the RULE_INIT routine and modify the global variable.

 

 

iRule - Dummy_Rule

 

 

when RULE_INIT {

 

set ::max_active_clients 30

 

log local0. "Changing max_active to $::max_active_clients"

 

}

 

 

 

 

2 - Use a data group to keep the variable and modify it with iControl. In this example MAX_USERS is a data group with one element.

 

 

Likely would need to move the creation of the variable into the "when HTTP_REQUEST" routine.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set ::max_active_clients [class element 0 MAX_USERS]
