iRule for selecting a pool based on a cookie value not working

do you have tcpdump or log showing bigip sending traffic to wrong pool?

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   destination 172.28.19.252:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set uri [HTTP::uri]
  set cookie [HTTP::cookie value "asv"]
  if { $cookie eq "1" } {
    pool new_foo
  } else {
    pool foo
  }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  log local0. "client [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port] | uri $uri | cookie $cookie | pool [LB::server pool] | server [IP::remote_addr]:[TCP::remote_port]"
}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   min active members 1
   members 200.200.200.101:80 {}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool new_foo list
pool new_foo {
   members 200.200.200.111:80 {}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  tail -f /var/log/ltm
Jan 18 04:11:56 local/tmm info tmm[4884]: Rule myrule : client 172.28.19.251:46804 | uri / | cookie 1 | pool new_foo | server 200.200.200.111:80
Jan 18 04:12:22 local/tmm info tmm[4884]: Rule myrule : client 172.28.19.251:46805 | uri /something | cookie 99 | pool foo | server 200.200.200.101:80

Well I think I found most of the problem was just whitespace... gets me everytime. To answer your question I don't have acces to the logs.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::cookie exists "asv"] and [HTTP::cookie value "asv"] eq "2" }{
pool web_new_version_pool
} else {
pool web_pool
}
}
 

I'm not sure what is going on, but I think you have made some assumptions in your iRule that may not valid.

 

 

On the 1st HTTP_REQUEST there should be NO cookie asv, so everything should end up getting assigned to pool "foo" to start.

 

The 1st response from the server should set the cookie asv.

 

 

So by the time the cookie is set, the pool has been assigned and things could be getting messed up from there.
