Map of key/value pair in Irules

You want to add or remove KVPs 'on the fly'? If not and it's just something you need to do every now and then, then a Data Group will do the trick.

Yes, I want to add/remove KVP 'on the fly'. With each HTTPRequest I need to check the kvp and update kvp and take appropriate action. Can I use the TCL Array to achive the goal?

Hmmm, OK, Data Groups won't help here then. Perhaps the table command? https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.table.ashx

 

 

I'm not sure if array's are available I'm afraid.

Thank you! Let me look into it.

Im not sure what the overall goal is but would a making a sideband connection to a database with CSV data and populating it into a table used by the Irule work better?

 

table entries can be used for dynamic key=value pairs. A data group would be good for statically defined pairs. And yes, you can use a sideband connection for supporting lookups from external sources.
