Hello everybody,

hope you could help me with this , my thinking is this needs custom iRule .

We are using Mango Automation system , and when we put it behind F5 LTM some parts (like gauges etc.) stop to function. I see these are websocket connections?  
Does anybody have experience with this ? They even have some documentation for Apache rev. proxy here in the link:

thanks

You asked about websockets in two questions I saw.

It is more useful start your own question about this with details on your environment and what is not working.

In my opinion it would then make more sense to start a question with that exactly. asking in threads from a year ago if it worked will probably not get you very far.

In general the settings on the default profile are what F5 considers best practice. So start with that and if you can show it doesn’t work optimal you can always involve F5 support.

The websocket article also shows some recommendations.
