tmsh command to search contents of all Irules for a string

Well a script would always be helpful in these cases. There is no one-line command for Irule, so its not doable through command. You can use this below script.

Create a bash script with below contents.

#!/bin/bash
searchword=$1
RULES="$(tmsh -q -c "cd /; list ltm rule recursive" | grep "ltm rule" | awk '{print $3}')"
if [ "$RULES" != "" ]; then
        for eachrule in ${RULES}
        do
        result="$(tmsh -q -c "cd /; list ltm rule $eachrule" | grep $searchword)"
                if [ "$result" != "" ]; then
                echo "$eachrule"
                fi
        done
fi

Then execute it below format, where Version is your search string.

bash /var/tmp/find-string-rule.sh Version

[admin@Lab:Active:Standalone] ~ # bash /var/tmp/find-string-rule.sh Version
Common/App1-pool_selection-irule
Common/DDOS-irule
dummy/test-rule

As you could see, I got 3 results, 2 rules from Common partition & 1 rule from my dummy partition.

Hope this helps 🙂
