Performance Logging iRule (Rule_http_log)
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.
