Not sending traffic to first pool

Try using [HTTP::host] in the first if statement instead of [HTTP::uri]

Thanks

 

To something like this?

 

 

thanks for the help

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::host] contains "www.website.com" or [HTTP::host] contains "XX.XX.XX.XX"}{

 

if {[HTTP::uri] ends_with ".jpg" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".gif" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".JPG" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".GIF"}{

 

pool edge-fx

 

} else {

 

pool web_pool

 

}

 

}

 

}

yep. You can add some logging as well while getting used to iRules:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   log "HTTP host is [HTTP::host] and uri is [HTTP::uri]"
   if {[HTTP::host] contains "www.website.com" or {HTTP::host] contains "XX.XX.XX.XX"}{
      if {[HTTP::uri] ends_with ".jpg" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".gif" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".JPG" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".GIF"}{
         pool edge-fx
      } else {
         pool web_pool
      }
   }
}

Wow, I didn't know anyone had an EDGE-FX anymore! Sweet!

As for the iRule, you might want to clean things up with an external classes as well. It makes the iRule much more manageable.

==== String Data Groups defined in the GUI ====
class hosts_to_cache {
  "www.website.com"
  "XX.XX.XX.XX"
}
class file_types_to_cache {
  ".gif"
  ".jpg"
  ".GIF"
  ".JPG"
}
==== iRule ====
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   Note: I replaced "contains" with "equals" here since
   more than likely you want to do a full string compare
   on the host name.  Change back to "contains" if you want
   to cover extensions of those host names
  if { [matchclass [HTTP::host] equals $::hosts_to_cache] } {
    if { [matchclass [HTTP::uri] ends_with $::file_types_to_cache] } {
      pool edge-fx
    } else {
      pool web-pool
    }
  } else {
     Just pointing out here that you left out the else clause 
     of the first if.
  }
}

hello,

 

 

thanks everybody for the help, may chache server is running great, but i just run into another issue

 

 

I tested like 2 hours ago

 

**************************************************

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::host] contains "www.website.com" or [HTTP::host] contains "XX.XX.XX.XX"}{

 

if {[HTTP::uri] ends_with ".jpg" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".gif" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".JPG" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".GIF"}{

 

pool edge-fx

 

} else {

 

pool web_pool

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

****************************************************

 

 

worked fine but it the extra load crashed the cache server and broken images began to show up on my site everywhere,

 

I guess this iRule will filter the gif and jpg traffic but it will not send any gif + jpg traffic to web_pool in the case edge-fx crashes.

 

Any suggestions? changes to the iRule?

 

 

thanks

 

 

 

 

 

if i can figure out how to fail gif + jpg to my webpool i will change my IRule to something like

 

 

==== String Data Groups defined in the GUI ====

 

class hosts_to_cache { "www.website.com" "XX.XX.XX.XX"}class file_types_to_cache { ".gif" ".jpg" ".GIF" ".JPG"}

 

 

==== iRule ====

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

Note: I replaced "contains" with "equals" here since

 

more than likely you want to do a full string compare

 

on the host name. Change back to "contains" if you want

 

to cover extensions of those host names if { [matchclass [HTTP::host] equals $::hosts_to_cache] } { if { [matchclass [HTTP::uri] ends_with $::file_types_to_cache] } { pool edge-fx } else { pool web-pool } } else {

 

Just pointing out here that you left out the else clause

 

of the first if.

 

}

 

}

Try adding an LB_FAILED rule. If all members of pool edge-fx are down, then you will get an LB_FAILED event. You can then use web_pool. There are some examples in other posts to this forum. Don't worry about an LB_FAILED loop. The event will only be triggered once. Good luck!

I been looking at my Admin guide and the forum for examples but it is not too clear to me where will the LB_FAILED will be used. Will it go inside the iRule or will it be a separate irule

 

 

Thanks for all the help

 

 

I really thought this iRule was going to be simplier than this.

 

 

 

 

I have this now,

 

it looks like it is working, but will the order of the WHEN change the performance of the site thanks again

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::host] contains "www.website.com" or [HTTP::host] contains "XX.XX.XX.XX"}{

 

if {[HTTP::uri] ends_with ".jpg" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".gif" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".JPG" or [HTTP::uri] ends_with ".GIF"}{

 

pool edge-fx

 

} else {

 

pool web_pool

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

when LB_FAILED {

 

LB::reselect pool web_pool

 

}

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but I would not expect the LB_FAILED clause to significantly impact the performance of the site.
