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?LTM Layer 4 SQL VIP
Hello everyone, I currently have multiple layer 4 virtual servers configured for our SQL Cluster. So far everything has been working great, users and apps can connect to the virtual servers to access databases as expected. We aren't using the layer 4 virtual servers for load balancing, but more as a proxy to allow users to connect to SQL servers on the other side of a firewall. We ran into one problem where our DBA is attempting to utilize SQL Analytics, but when Analytics is making a call to the virtual server it's failing. The errors we're seeing are: SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c, state 14 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: AcceptSecurityContext failed. The Windows error code indicates the cause of failure. The logon attempt failed [CLIENT: 10.x.x.x] Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication. [CLIENT: 10..x.x.x] We're not using our BigIP in routed mode, but instead running it in one armed mode. Due to this we have a SNAT pool for our network segments that we assign to each VIP. The client IP is one of our SNAT pool addresses. So it seems like for some reason the analytics piece of SQL doesn't recognize the SNAT IP as being a trusted domain computer? None of the other functions of SQL seem to care, but this one functionality does. Has anyone else run into this? Has anyone successfully deployed F5 virtual servers to proxy connections for SQL Analytics? I don't know much about SQL Analytics and I'm not sure what it wants or how I can give it what it wants from the F5 standpoint.
