What are good or bad uses of irule Procs
I want to provide global debugging control over irules I have deployed so that I can target the logging of debug information for specific events, hosts, uri, vs, pool, etc, across these irules. I plan to use a proc that will log a message to the LTM log if the current set of debug targets are met. The targets will be set as static variables. This proc will be called multiple times in a variety of irules I have written to log debug information. I am concerned that using a Proc will introduce a performance issue. Please adviseNested Procs in an iRule
Since iRules don't support the expr ceil(args) function, I'm trying to implement a TCL version that I found at https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/16742115/ This implement uses multiple reusable procs. When I format my iRule with these procs, the recusion doesn't seem to process correctly and I'm wondering if there are any restrictions here?
