writing an irule to log all traffic

I suppose you could use the HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA event to trigger the end time for the HTTP request/response delta, but that would require using HTTP::collect to trigger the HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA event. HTTP::collect buffers the HTTP response content. I'm not sure how much load this would add. I would guess that this might increase the latency enough to impact the accuracy of the time measurements.

 

 

Can anyone else comment on the best way to measure the delta between the HTTP request being received and when the BIG-IP sends the response back to the client?

 

 

Thanks,
