Hi everyone, I'm trying to get my head around iStats, in particular how a key is constructed. Colin's article here is very confusing: https://devcentral.f5.com/tech-tips/articles/introduction-to-ista...

NimbostratusIs there a way to remove an ISTAT or set a counter back to zero from an iRule? Can't seem to find a way to do it. I can do "istats remove "ltm.virtual /Common/ counter hits" from the cli, for example, but there doesn't seem to be an associated command available to iRules to do the same thing.
BTW, there really needs to be some cleanup and expansion on the documentation for ISTATs here. What little information is available is pretty confusing, and often contradicting.
- Currently there is no way to directly set an iSTAT to a number, you can only read and increment by the negative of the get.
- Matt_Jannusch_1Thanks James, I ended up incrementing the counter by the negative of the counter and that worked fine! I wanted to keep all the functionality in an iRule as that is easier to maintain (for my customers) than the iCall script method.
