Nimbostratusredirect irule
our old application url that pointed to the F5 vip was mybicrt.company.com. The new code is mybicrt.company.com/analytics. i created the following that achieves that part of ithttps://mybicrt.company.com/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executiveand we need them to redirect tohttps://mybicrt.company.com/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } {
HTTP::redirect "/analytics/"
log local0. "redirect"
}
}
now the problem is that users have links to dashboards saved that look like this
basically the irule we have setup stops at analytics and I need a way to add /analytics after mybicrt.compan.com but keep the rest of the url there. Also there are a ton of dashboard links that are all different.
is this possible.
Thanks
Andrew

Andrew,
Have you tried...
HTTP::redirect "/analytics/[http::uri]"
See if that works.

Slight updates :)
HTTP::redirect "/analytics[HTTP::uri]"
Aaron- natheThanks Aaron - depending on what time of day (or night) it is I quite often forget if the / is included in the uri or not.
Appreciate the correction. Hope it helps Andrew get the result he's after.
N - brownie6969_121thanks for the responses guys and i tried it but i am still seeing the same results. Here is the irule i am using
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect "/analytics[HTTP::uri]" log local0. "redirect" } }
the initial redirect still works but not when it is in the dashboard links like explained above.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks 
Gbps_31870Hi Brown,
Could you try HTTP::redirect "https://mybicrt.company.com/analytic[HTTP::uri]"
Abdul- brownie6969_121Thank you but still not working.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect "https://mybicrt11g.cerner.com/analytics[HTTP::uri]" log local0. "redirect" } }
Any other suggestions?

Brian_69413Perhaps you should be using [HTTP::path] instead of [HTTP::uri] to include the variables from the dashboard?- brownie6969_121Thanks Brian but still same issue.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } {
HTTP::redirect "https://mybicrt11g.cerner.com/analytics[HTTP::path]"
log local0. "redirect"
}
}
Is this ever possible? - hooleylistWhen you say it's not working, can you clarify what's happening? You can use a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler to check the requests/responses the client sees. You could also uncomment the log statement in the iRule to see if the HTTP::path check is matching. Also, do you see any errors in /var/log/ltm?
Aaron - brownie6969_121so mybicrt.company.com redirects to mybicrt11g.company/analytics. that part works fine but when it needs to be inserted into dashboard like
https://mybicrt.company.com/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive
it gets a page can't be displayed and i see nothing in the logs when i try to redirect like this
https://mybicrt.company.com/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive
Not sure what's going on with it.
