Log Tcp And Http Request Response Info

Problem this snippet solves:

This iRule logs a line for the following events:

  • when a new TCP connection is established with a client
  • when the HTTP headers of an HTTP request are received from the client
  • when the HTTP headers of an HTTP response are received from the pool member
  • when the TCP connection with a client is closed

Code :

# Here is a sample of the log output for a single TCP connection with three HTTP requests:

<client_accepted>: New TCP connection from 192.168.99.210:2675 to 192.168.101.41:80

<http_request>:    Client 192.168.99.210:2675 -> test_http_vip/test0.html?parameter=val (request)
<http_response>:   Client 192.168.99.210:2675 -> test_http_vip/test0.html?parameter=val (response) - pool info http_pool 192.168.101.45 80  - status: 200 (request/response delta: 0ms)

<http_request>:    Client 192.168.99.210:2675 -> test_http_vip/test1.html?parameter=val (request)
<http_response>:   Client 192.168.99.210:2675 -> test_http_vip/test1.html?parameter=val (response) - pool info http_pool 192.168.101.45 80  - status: 200 (request/response delta: 0ms)

Very usefull iRules. Thanks a lot.

We have a similar iRule with CLIENT_ACCEPTED, LB_SELECTED, SERVER_CONNECTED, and SERVER_CLOSED events. We perform SNAT in the LB_SELECTED event and logging in the SERVER_* events. When I try to apply this rule to a UDP VS, I get the following error:

01070394:3: TCP::client_port in rule (/Common/my_rule) requires an associated BIGPROTO or TCP or FASTHTTP profile on the virtual server (/Common/udp_vs).

I understand the error and am wondering if the rule can be applied to a UDP VS. If not, how can I change the logging in SERVER_* events so as to resolve this error?

when SERVER_CONNECTED {
    log local0. "inner_ip=[IP::client_addr] inner_port=[TCP::client_port] outer_ip=[IP::local_addr] outer_port=[TCP::local_port] dest_ip=[IP::remote_addr] dest_port=[TCP::remote_port]"
}

Additionally, would CLIENT_ACCEPTED and LB_SELECTED events work for UDP? I would really appreciate an pointers. Thank you.
