Aug 10, 2017need help deciphering what an IRULE is doing
We have an IRULE in use written by someone who no longer works here and I am at a loss for what it does. Could someone please interpret what it is doing ?
when HTTP_REQUEST {
log local0. "MET: entered rule [HTTP::uri]";
switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
"/exporttable*" {
set csv "Table,Key,Value\n";
set tname [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 3]
log local0. "MET: exporttable $tname";
foreach key [table keys -subtable $tname] {
log local0. "MEET: $key"
set val [table lookup -subtable $tname $key];
append csv "$tname,$key,$val\n";
}
set filename [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_${tname}.csv"]
HTTP::respond 200 Content $csv \
"Content-Type" "text/csv" \
"Content-Disposition" "attachment: filename=${filename}";
}
}
}
Hi,
This irule allow you to export entries from a specific table name to a CSV file.
You can download the file using a request to the VS with this kind of URI /exporttable/xxx/tablename
It looks like a debug irule. You may other irules that record values in those tables.
