Ultimate irule debug - Capture and investigate
Problem this snippet solves: I decided to share this Irule for different reasons. When I help our community on devcentral, I regularly see people making recurring requests: How do I do to capture the queries header. How do I do to capture the response header. How do I check the information in the POST Request. How do I check response data (body). What cypher/protocol I use (SSL/TLS). I set up client certificate authentication but I do not know if it works and if I pass my certificate auth. I want to retrieve information from my authentication certificate (subject, issuer, …). My authenticating by certificate does not work and I get an error of what I have to do. I have latencies when dealing with my request. where does the latency come from (F5, server,..). I set up sso (kerberos delegation, json post, Form sso). I do not feel that my request is sent to the backend (or the kerberos token). Does F5 add information or modify the request/response. Which pool member has been selected My VS don’t answer (where does the problem come from) … instead of having an Irule for each request why not consolidate everything and provide a compact Irule. this Irule can help you greatly during your investigations and allows you to capture these different items: How to use this snippet: you have a function that allows you to activate the desired logs (1 to activate and 0 to disable) as describe below: array set app_arrway_referer { client_dest_ip_port 1 client_cert 1 http_request 1 http_request_release 1 http_request_payload 0 http_lb_selected 1 http_response 0 http_response_release 0 http_response_payload 0 http_time_process 0 } the posted logs will be preceded by a UID which will allow you to follow from the beginning to the end of the process of your request / answer. you can for example make a grep on the log to follow the complete process (request / answer). the UID is generated in the following way: `set uid [string range [AES::key 256] 15 23] client_dest_ip_port: this section will allow you to see source IP/Port and destination IP/Port. <CLIENT_ACCEPTED>: ----------- client_dest_ip_port ----------- <CLIENT_ACCEPTED>: uid: 382951fe9 - Client IP Src: 10.20.30.4:60419 <CLIENT_ACCEPTED>: uid: 382951fe9 - Client IP Dest:192.168.30.45:443 <CLIENT_ACCEPTED>: ----------- client_dest_ip_port ----------- client_cert: this section will allow you to check the result code for peer certificate verification ( and also if you have provide a certificate auth). moreover you will be able to recover the information of your authentication certficat (issuer, subject, …). if your authentication certificate that you provid is not valid an error message will be returned (ex: certificate chain too long, invalid CA certificate, …). all errors are listed in the link below: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.SSL__verify_result.ashx <HTTP_REQUEST>: ----------- client_cert ----------- <HTTP_REQUEST>: uid: 382951fe9 - cert number: 0 <HTTP_REQUEST>: uid: 382951fe9 - subject: OU=myOu, CN=youssef <HTTP_REQUEST>: uid: 382951fe9 - Issuer Info: DC=com, DC=domain, CN=MobIssuer <HTTP_REQUEST>: uid: 382951fe9 - cert serial: 22:00:30:5c:de:dd:ec:23:6e:b5:e6:77:bj:01:00:00:22:3c:dc <HTTP_REQUEST>: ----------- client_cert ----------- OR <HTTP_REQUEST>: ----------- client_cert ----------- <HTTP_REQUEST>: uid: 382951fe9 - No client certificate provided <HTTP_REQUEST>: ----------- client_cert ----------- http_request: This section allow you to retrieve the complete client HTTP request headers (that is, the method, URI, version, and all headers).

Problem this snippet solves: Here's a logging iRule. You'll need a HSL syslog pool to log too. Various bits gathered from other posts on DevCentral. Sharing in case there is interest. Make sure your rsyslogd is setup to use the newer syslog format like RFC-5424 including milliseconds and timezone info.Includes Country (co) and logs individual request times for each request on a HTTP/1.1 connection. To configure F5 logging to use milliseconds and timezone, disable logging in the gui and use tmsh edit sys syslog and something like: include " # short hostnames options { use_fqdn(no); }; # Remote syslog in RFC5424 - Tim Riker <Tim@Rikers.org> destination remotesyslog { syslog(\"10.1.2.3\" transport(\"udp\") port(51443) ts_format(iso)); }; log { source(s_syslog_pipe); destination(remotesyslog); }; " Uses upvar and proc. Tested on 11.6 - 15.1 This tracks connection info in a table and then copies that down to the per-request log() to handle reporting on http2. This version works around a BIG-IP bug where HTTP::version does not report 2 or higher for http2 and later requests. With http2 profiles, subsequent requests using the same connection can generate this error in the logs if HTTP::respond HTTP::redirect or HTTP::retry is called from and earlier iRule. Reorder your iRules to avoid this. <HTTP_REQUEST> - No HTTP header is cached - ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED (line 1)invoked from within "HTTP::method" How to use this snippet: Add this iRule to whatever virtual hosts you desire. I always add it as the first rule. If you have a rule that sets headers you want to track, you may want this after the rule that sets headers. Interesting Splunk queries can be created like: index=* perflog | timechart avg(cpu_5sec) by host limit=10 to show load across multiple F5s. index=* perflog | timechart max(upstream_time) by http_host limit=10 to show long request times by http_host Any other iRule may add things to the log() array and those will get added to the single hsl output. If you create a dg_http_log datagroup, that will be used to filter what gets logged.

Problem this snippet solves: The outlined iRule contains a debugging procedure that can become an useful tool while developing HTTP related iRules. The debug [proc] can be plugged into existing iRules on a position of your choice, to break the iRule execution, collect various informations and display them in a easy to use HTML page. The debug [proc] is also able to meassure the elapsed time between independent code positions to get a first impression which coding technique performs better than the other. The debug [proc] will store the collected performance data of every single execution in a scaling window session [table] for statistical calculation. It would output statistical information in a raw format and a #% cuttoff style to filter outliers.
