Referred by the iRule group - Logging

iControl is the Management API on our devices. It's a SOAP interface that is included with each version of the product. In the downloads section of this website you can get the SDK that documents each of the methods that are exposed.

 

 

iControl is used for device management (configuration, statistics, etc). Think of it as if you wanted to write your own version of the GUI or CLI.

 

 

iRules is the internal scripting language that allows access to data in the packet path. What you are asking about sending HTTP info into the log file is done via iRules, not iControl.

 

 

If you have a specific question about iRules, I'd suggest you look in the iRules Wiki on this site. There is documentation for the iRules methods we support as well as a bunch of code samples.

 

 

Hope this helps...
