AltostratusHow to log more specific traffic in irule
Hi All,
I need help in logging the irule traffic.
I have i-rule, in which "switch" statement is used to redirect traffic to different pool.
there are 100+ URIs used under this statement for redirection as below;
switch -glob [ HTTP::uri ] {
"/abc/123/abc.html" {pool HTTP_POOL_1}
"/abd/124/abc.html" {pool HTTP_POOL_3}
"/abe/125/abc.html" {pool HTTP_POOL_6}
"/abf/126/abc.html" {pool HTTP_POOL_2}
"/abg/127/abc.html" {pool HTTP_POOL_4}
"/abh/128/abc.html" {pool HTTP_POOL_6}
"/abi/129/abc.html" {pool HTTP_POOL_7}

100+
}
my requirement is to log the traffic for only for "/abg/127/abc.html {pool HTTP_POOL_4}" with client IP. It should not log the traffic with other URIs.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Hi Ajinkya,
I think the following should work:
"/abg/127/abc.html" {
pool HTTP_POOL_4
log local0. "URI /abg/127/abc/html matched. Client IP [IP::client_addr]"
}
If you have a look here, there is a good explanation of the "switch" command, as well as some examples on what it can look like: https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/switch.html
Additionally, if you indeed have a 100+ entries in the switch statement, you may want to have a look at working with DataGroups, rather than the switch statement - it can improve performance quite a bit (if performance is a factor of course) You can find more info about this here: https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/class.html
Hope this helps.
