Traffic Shaping and Atlassian Jira

Hi All,

I'm having an issue getting Traffic Shaping situated for Jira - here's what I need done:

 

  1. Sticky Sessions
  2. If the URI is rest - then go to Pool2
  3. Else if that URI is rest/login.jsp - Pool1
  4. All others go to Pool1

 

The problem I'm having, is it always routes me back to pool2

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/rest" }{

pool pl-prd-jira.ftr.com2-tcp8080

}

}

    Hi Lani,

    Can you try this irule?

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/rest" && [string tolower [HTTP::path]] ne "/rest/login.jsp"} {
		pool pl-prd-jira.ftr.com2-tcp8080
	}
	else {
		pool pl-prd-jira.ftr.com1-tcp8080
	}
}

    If you need persistence:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/rest" && [string tolower [HTTP::path]] ne "/rest/login.jsp"} {
		pool pl-prd-jira.ftr.com2-tcp8080
		persist cookie insert "pool-ftr2"
	}
	else {
		pool pl-prd-jira.ftr.com1-tcp8080
		persist cookie insert "pool-ftr1"
	}
}

    We got it working - but I'm super interested in the persistence -

    Does this mean, setting persistence within the configuration does not work? unless we add it via iRule?
