SHAREPOINT Crawler Traffic Segragation

Your code looks correct. What indication are you getting that it's not working? Try adding some logging:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    set uagent [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] 
    log local0. "incoming uagent = $uagent"

    if { $uagent contains "ms search"} { 
        log local0. "found a robot"
        pool pool_crawler 
    } else { 
        log local0. "not a robot"
        pool pool-NonCrwaler 
    } 
}

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your response.

The above irule would not solve the purpose as it will send the information to /var/log/ltm. I can identify the same by checking the number of connections being sent to the CRAWLER pool which is Zero.

My concern is that the Irule is able to segregate the traffic based on the STRING "MS SEARCH" which we see in the USER-agent : User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT; MS Search 6.0 Robot)

Could you please help us in writing the correct script either on the basis of user-agent or some other for SHAREPOINT 2013.

Let me know if more information is required on the same.

The log statements are there for troubleshooting. If you watch the LTM log while testing, you'd see something like this:

: incoming uagent = blah; blah; blah; ms search 6.0 robot
: found a robot
: incoming uagent = blah; blah; blah
: not a robot

So if you don't see any messages for "found a robot", then you know that either a) there aren't any requests with this user-agent, or b) your search criteria isn't correct.
