Nimbostratusreloading external datagroup remotely
We are trying to implement iRule solution to dynamically disable certain url patterns. I came up with the idea of using external datagroup and update this datagroup when ever we want new url patterns to be disbabled. However, i am having difficulties on reloading external datagroup remotely.
Is there any way we can reload the datagroup without requiring the admin privilege and/or without ssh/remote login to F5 shell?
one idea i would like to explore (if it is possible) is to have a separate iRule that triggers datagroup reload (of another iRule)
F5 version is 10.0.1

Sashi_81625yes, if you look at the comments section.. it seems like this method doesnt work on 10.x version

I just tested on 10.2 via the GUI by changing the access mode of an external datagroup back and forth to force a reload of the file. This worked okay. I assume it should work via iControl as well.
