Data Group String Wildcard?
We just upgraded a pair of 8900's from v10.2.1 with v11.4.1 HF3 and noticed our data-group string list became unusable. We have been unable to edit or add any entry in the data-group after the upgrade. We called support and they advised us to use an External Data Group list and that isn't working at all. We've finally figured out a way to utilize the String/Value datagroup by simply adding an entry in both the String and Value section. For example, we added www.abc.com with the same syntax string in both areas "String" and "Value" and it works! Unfortunately now, we ran into another issue which we are not able to use wildcard values? For example, we get an error when we use a syntax with variable like "*" like *.abc.com. We were able to use this value before the upgrade, did something change in the new version 11.x? Please advise?
Print string found in Data Group to Log
I have an iRule that is looking in the HTTP POST request method data payload for a string that is defined in a data-group. I would like to print to the log whichever string from the referenced data-group is found. # See https://devcentral.f5.com/s/question/0D51T00006i7hpJSAQ/irule-to-block-requests-with-specific-word # #ltm data-group internal restricted_dg { #records { #restricted {} #} #type string #} when HTTP_REQUEST_DATA { set payload [HTTP::payload] if {[class match [string tolower $payload] contains "restricted_dg"]} { # set variable named restricted_text to the string found in $payload # that matches something in data-group restricted_dg log local0. "Rejecting restricted content $restricted_text" reject } }
List single record from data-group on CLI
I'm trying to query the data of a particular record within a data-group via the command line. However when I pass in the record name it still returns all records. user1@LTM1:Active:Changes Pending] ~ # tmsh list ltm data-group internal ants_test_dg records { record_one } ltm data-group internal ants_test_dg { records { record_one { data value_one } record_three { data value_three } record_two { data value_two } } } I'm sure there must be a simple thing I'm missing here, could someone please advise? Many thanks Ant
Alerts for data-group changes
I'd like to receive alerts when members of a data group are added or removed. Is there anyway to get some type of notification sent to an endpoint when one of these actions occurs? I'm using the events notification and subscription components of iControl for network changes like virtual server enables/disables but unfortunately data-group/class membership changes don't trigger an event to be sent to my endpoint.
