iStats from irule

is anyone aware of a way to extract the iStats for an irule; example irule. irule_redirect_test_test? We’ve been capturing stats for the various redirects activated via that rule and need to determine which line items are still being leveraged.

    Hi Jerm1020,

    you could use one of the below outlined ways to view/export your collected ISTATS.

    1.) Write an Out-of-Band iRule to query and display your collected counters within an HTML page.

    Collect Data within production iRule:

ISTATS::incr "my_key_space my_key_instance counter my_counter_name" 1 

Report Data within Out-of-Band iRule:

HTTP::respond 200 content "Counter Value [ISTATS::get "my_key_space my_key_instance counter my_counter_name"]"

    2.) Use the TMSH client to view your object orientated ISTATS counters (special naming convention required)

    Collect Data within production iRule:

ISTATS::incr "ltm.virtual MY_VirtualServer counter my_hit_count" 1

Report Data within TMSH:

(tmos) show ltm virtual MY_VirtualServer

------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltm::Virtual Server: MY_VirtualServer
------------------------------------------------------------------



User-defined  Value
  my_hit_count  12

    Cheers, Kai
