Universal Persistence with X-forwarder

Hi Experts Can I use Universal persistence using x-forwarder with i-rule? I would have each x-forwarded IP stick to the same back-end pool member. Will this work? Can you please share code? Any ...

A formatted version of the "Per VS" rate limiting. You can apply the same irule to all standard VS using UIE persistence.

when RULE_INIT {
    set static::maxReqs 3;
    set static::timeout 60;
}

when HTTP_REQUEST {
        set vs [URI::basename [virtual]]
        if { [HTTP::header exists "X-Forwarded-For"] } {
            set client_IP_addr [getfield [lindex  [HTTP::header values "X-Forwarded-For"]  0] "," 1]
        } else {
            set client_IP_addr [IP::client_addr]
        }
        if { ([HTTP::method] eq "GET") and ([class match [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] ends_with $vs_URI_LIST_TO_LIMIT] ) } {

            whitelist
            if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals $vs_ips_whitelist] }{
               return
            }
            set getcount [table lookup -notouch "$vs_$client_IP_addr:[HTTP::uri]"]
            if { $getcount equals "" } {
                table set "$vs_$client_IP_addr:[HTTP::uri]" "1" $static::timeout $static::timeout
            } else {
                if { $getcount < $static::maxReqs } {
                    table incr -notouch "$vs_$client_IP_addr:[HTTP::uri]"
                } else {
                    reject
                }
            }
        }
        persist uie $clientip 
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
    persist add uie $clientip 
}

Hi,

You can try this example :

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
    persist add uie $clientip
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set clientip ""
    if { [HTTP::header exists "X-Forwarded-For"] } {
        set clientip [HTTP::header "X-Forwarded-For"]
    } else {
        set clientip [IP::client_addr]
    }
    persist uie $clientip
}
