Monitoring Syn cookie threshold in real time

Hi,

 

We facing syn cookie threshold crossing its limit and we can logs under ltm files. Now the counts gets normal automatically once traffic is normal. I am looking for something where I can monitor real time syn cookie count on the specific virtual server.

 

Can I achieve it? Is irule will help here?

    Viewing virtual server statistics from TMSH should give you the information you are looking for: tmsh show ltm virtual <virtual-server-name> detail shows the following SYN Cookie statistics. (Note: This output is from a virtual server that does not have SYN Cookies activated at the moment, hence the 0 values.)

    SYN Cookies
  Status                         not-activated
  Hardware SYN Cookie Instances              0
  Software SYN Cookie Instances              0
  Current SYN Cache                          0
  SYN Cache Overflow                         0
