When HTTP Request has specific hostname and URI, redirect to diff Pool

Hi All,

 

I have been trying to make this below IRule work, But no success. My Client's requirement is to redirect HTTP Traffic for specific Host URL and specific URI to a different Pool. But I am constantly getting this error: TCL error: /Common/poolname - extra switch pattern with no body while executing "switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/someURI" { pool "XYZ" } if {$..."

 

when RULE_INIT { set static::Poolxyz_select_debug 1 log local0. "Poolxyz_select" } when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "api-dev" } { switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/someURI" { pool XYZ } if {$static::Pool_select_debug eq 1} {log local0. "[IP::client_addr] with URI of [HTTP::uri] went to XYZ Pool"} } } }

 

Please help me out, I am kind of new to switch statement, tried using it different ways but still no success. Thank you in advance.

 

Abe

    Slight modified existing iRule. you can write something like below....

        when RULE_INIT {
     Change to "1" to enable debugging log statements
    set static::Poolxyz_select_debug 0
  }

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] contains "api-dev" } {
     switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
      "/someuri" { pool XYZ }
       default     { pool big_pool }
    }

    if { $static::Pool_select_debug eq 1 } {
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr] with URI of [HTTP::uri] went to XYZ Pool" 
             } 
        }
 }

      Thank You for the quick response. It looks like this above IRule is working, I do not see the failures on the Statistics Tab. But on the /var/log/ltm, It is hard to trace the URI being redirected to diff pool. Because Other URIs which we did not mention in the Irule also logged as IP with /xyz or /someuri went to the XYZ Pool. It would be easier if we set up a variable for the Pool.

       

      Thank You again for the help.

      Cool, because traffic is going to default pool if uri didn't match. Plz modify URI in lower case('/someuri') and comments these lines in iRule. Rest no change...

       default { pool big_pool }

      Update the comments... Cheers...

      Thanks again, I will do that. Also wondering If we can log someruri to XYZ Pool and the rest uris to default pool. Makes lot easier for debugging. Also I will ask the QA to run the tests tomorrow and confirm here if it was successful.

    It looks like you have incorrectly balanced braces.

    Try: 
    when RULE_INIT {
  set static::Poolxyz_select_debug 1 
  log local0. "Poolxyz_select" 
}
when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "api-dev" } { 
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { 
      /someURI { 
        pool XYZ
        if {$static::Pool_select_debug eq 1} {
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr] with URI of [HTTP::uri] went to XYZ Pool"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

    I think this is the logic you are trying to implement.
