Difference in VS connections versus Pool connections
Hi all, I am wondering the difference between the current connections on a virtual server versus the current connections on a pool. For example my http/https virtual server has 91 current connections while the pool only has 30. I was under the impression that these two values should be the same. Does this mean there are 91 users hitting this url, or 30? I am using a oneconnect profile on this virtual server, so does this mean that its more accurate to say we have 91 users hitting the url but they're sharing the 30 connections already open from the F5 to the servers on the back end? Thank you
Domain name information in Analytics statistics
Hi there, I would like to ask, whether I'm missing something here with Analytics profile, or the stats do not include the domain name. I would not mind, but I have in a Pool of web servers which host more than one webpage. Now I get URLs mixed all together in the stats and cannot tell which URL belongs to which domain... Thank you.

Cant get URL Hostname in logs from AVR and ASM
Hi Folks, I currently have a virtual server that hosts multiple websites using "name based hosting". I have an iRule that runs on the VS that says if the incoming http request comes in and the url host name matches an entry in a datagroup forward it to the pool name that it is set to in the datagroup. This part works great... What does not work so great is, if you turn on AVR or ASM, the BIGIP only logs entries with URI and not the host name. I have created a logging profile and told it to log "everything" but still I only just logs with just the URI and not the host name. Naturally it would be nice to have the host name and the URI so I can see what logs pertains to what website the VS is hosting. Any ideas guys? Thanks, Kevin
Analytics IApp with Splunk
Good day, I'm having some problems with installing the Analytics IApp, I was hoping some one can get me on the way. I read the manuals and the video looks all pretty easy, but Its not working. We are running Viprions, with multiple vCMPs on the blades. On each vCMP there runs a BigIP instance with multiple partitions. The common partition is not used. How do I get this working. I tried to install the IApp in a vCMP in a partition, but then I get only errors that it is not possible to read files etc in the common partition. When I install the IApp in common I do not see any traffic send away to the Splunk server. If some one can help me, would be appreciated! Greetings, Robin
Analytics appear to stop page loading completely
Hi all I have an odd issue. Basically we have F5 with LTM / Analytics in from of two types of CMS systems - EKTRON and SITECORE. LTM is configured to load balance for each system and the pages load correctly - simple round robin - nothing fancy. However if I apply a simple HTTP / Analytic profile, the pages still display OK, but you can see that it appears not to complete downloading. This causes issues for iframes etc on the site... Looking at the page source, we can see that the analytics code is injected at the end of the page after the end tag - is this expected behaviour? Example: Any pointers would be great.
F5 analytics iApp on v14.1
Hi everybody. I'm doing some testing with v14.1, and I've tried to install the F5 Analytics iApp. I've installed the f5.analytics.v3.7.2rc4 template and configured it with default values more or less. The iApp deploys without any problems, but is logging an error message when trying to run the iCall script: hostname="bigip1.home.local",errdefs_msgno="014f0013:3:",msg="Script (/Common/analytics-send_stats1) generated this Tcl error: (script did not successfully complete: (can't read \"splunkdestinationip_withrd\": no such variable\n while executing\n\"string compare \"$splunkdestinationip_withrd\" \"0\" \"\n (\"Splunk\" arm line 5)\n invoked from within\n\"switch -- $format {\n \"Splunk\" -\n \"F5 Analytics\" {\n catch {exec /bin/gzip $filename$i$ext -f}\n ...\"\n (\"for\" body line 4)\n invoked from within\n\"for {set i 0} {$i <= $currentfile} {incr i} {\n set curl_response \"fail\"\n set ext \"\"\n switch -- $format {\n ...\" line:2619))" I don't have any route domains or partition configured on my BigIP. Any ideas?
Applying Analytics profile to VS changes chunking behavior?
Hi, I was doing some test (v11.2.0HF7) and for some reason two almost identically configured server was delivering different responses to the client: One chunked Second not chunked Both VS were sending traffic to the same backend server, using same settings for Response Chunking: Selective After long trial&error it turned out that disconnecting Analytics profile from VS disables chunking of the reply send to client. Why so? Is that bug or expected behavior? In Analytics profile options enabled as below: ltm profile analytics my-analytics { alerts none app-service none captured-traffic-external-logging disabled captured-traffic-internal-logging enabled collect-geo disabled collect-http-throughput enabled collect-ip disabled collect-methods enabled collect-page-load-time enabled collect-response-codes enabled collect-server-latency enabled collect-url enabled collect-user-agent disabled collect-user-sessions disabled collected-stats-external-logging disabled collected-stats-internal-logging enabled defaults-from analytics description none notification-by-email disabled notification-by-snmp disabled notification-by-syslog disabled notification-email-addresses none partition Common remote-server-ip any6 remote-server-port 514 remote-server-syslog-facility local0 sampling-ratio 1 session-timeout-minutes 30 smtp-config none traffic-capture { capturing-for-my-analytics { app-service none captured-protocols all client-ips none methods none node-addresses none request-captured-parts headers request-content-filter-search-part none request-content-filter-search-string none response-captured-parts headers response-codes none response-content-filter-search-part none response-content-filter-search-string none url-path-prefixes none user-agent-substrings none virtual-servers none } } trust-xff enabled } Is any of above setting forcing VS to send chunked response to client?
