v11.2 High Speed Logging

Greetings all, I am not sure if this is the correct forum, but since it pertains to logging I figured I would ask here. We are trying to setup High Speed Logging just to test it out and what...

I assume vs logging profile on the vip I can just use irule and log via generic TCL variables like the following;

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

set hsl [HSL::open -proto UDP -pool syslog_server_pool] } when HTTP_REQUEST { HSL::send $hsl " Client Request: [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port] To [IP::local_addr]:[TCP::local_port] Request: [HTTP::method] [HTTP::host][HTTP::path] Payload: [HTTP::payload]" }

 

at least in interim.

 

cheers

Yes you certainly can utilise HSL iRule commands to log generic TCL variables as you've described. Generally you wouldn't do this if you were using the Request Logging Profiles though as it's kind of the same thing (although you could). Request Logging Profile are really there to provide an alternative to having to use iRules for logging, but of course iRules will always be more flexible if there is something unique that you need to do.
