Schedule Maintence Page

Hello,

Hopefully someone is able to help me.. We have a Big-IP hosted in AWS and running 15.1.0.4. We have a maintence page that needs to display when the pool members are down (which i have working) but also on Tuesdays 0200-1400. I have tried several different pages but am still struggling to get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi,

    You could use this:

    when RULE_INIT {
        array set static::timerange {
            Sunday {}
            Monday {}
            Tuesday {"02:00" "14:00"}
            Wednesday {}
            Thursday {}
            Friday {}
            Saturday {}
        }
    }
     
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if { ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/contractor/") } {    
            set now [clock seconds]
            set current_day [clock format $now -format {%A}]
            set start [lindex $static::timerange($current_day) 0]
            set end [lindex $static::timerange($current_day) 1]
            if {($start ne "") && ($end ne "") && ($now >= [clock scan $start]) && ($now < [clock scan $end])} {
                set denied 0
            } else {set denied 1}
            unset start end
        } else {set denied 0}
     
        if { $denied } {
            HTTP::respond 200 content "Not Authorised! Contact AdministratorNot Authorised! Contact Administrator..."
        } else {pool POOL_443}
        unset denied
    }

    Cheers,

    Kees

      Would i have to have this as a seperate irule than the one i have for when pool members are down? Sorry i am not the best with iRules.

      • No, it can be the same irule.

        when RULE_INIT {
            array set static::timerange {
                Sunday {}
                Monday {}
                Tuesday {"02:00" "14:00"}
                Wednesday {}
                Thursday {}
                Friday {}
                Saturday {}
            }
        }
         
        when HTTP_REQUEST {
            if { ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/contractor/") } {    
                set now [clock seconds]
                set current_day [clock format $now -format {%A}]
                set start [lindex $static::timerange($current_day) 0]
                set end [lindex $static::timerange($current_day) 1]
                if {($start ne "") && ($end ne "") && ($now >= [clock scan $start]) && ($now < [clock scan $end])} {
                    set denied 0
                } else {set denied 1}
                unset start end
            } else {set denied 0}
         
            if { $denied } {
                HTTP::respond 200 content "Not Authorised! Contact AdministratorNot Authorised! Contact Administrator..."
            } elseif { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } {
                HTTP::respond 200 content "<content>"
                unset denied
              } else {pool POOL_443}
               unset denied
        }

        Cheers,
