Thanks for the response Kevin.

 

 

What are my options if my data-group has a very large number of key-value pairs ( thousands ) ? This amount of data would seem to be unwieldy to manage via the web-admin interface or the CLI.

 

 

I can point my class/data-group to an external-data-file which contains the key-value pairs.

 

But what is the performance impact of storing data in a file ? I assume f5 must load the data into memory and store it as a hash ( or performance would be hopeless ) but when does this happen ? On f5 startup ( at the time bigip.conf is loaded ) ? Or does the load occur the first time an iRule needs to match against the associated class/data-group ?

 

 

Thanks again.
