12 Topicstrouble to remove table due to ACCESS_SESSION_CLOSED event
Hi all, I want to remove a table after clicking the EdgeClient disconnect button: when ACCESS_SESSION_CLOSED { table delete -subtable TableName -all } If I use another browser session with an iRule that does check this table: when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. [table keys -subtable TableName] } I still get all the content from this table. This looks not normal to me because I deleted this table before with the ACCESS_SESSION_CLOSED event. Does somebody know why that happens? Thank you, sm518Views0likes5CommentsUsing "table" iRule command inside the ACESS_SESSION_CLOSED APM event
Hello everyone, I'm in version 13.1.0.2 and I'm facing an issue when using the "table" iRule command with the ACCESS_SESSION_CLOSED event : This is an LTM+APM deployement (web application access) I have an empty access policy ( start --> allow ) I have associated the following iRule to the virtual server : when ACCESS_SESSION_STARTED { if { [table lookup "toto"] != "" } { log local0. "found !" } else { log local0. "not found !" } } when ACCESS_SESSION_CLOSED { table set "toto" "myData" 1800 log local0. "adding toto to the shared table !" } I noticed that whenever I kill a perticular session and re establish a new session, the entry is never found in the table (I have choosen a 30min timeout so that I can easly disconnect and reconnect without having the entry times out) After further testing I noticed that whenever I use the "table" command in the ACCESS_SESSION_CLOSED , this entry is deleted right after the session is closed. I found this article K58224211 which describe a known bug, however it should be fixed since version 12.0.0. (btw I also performed the same test in 12.1.2 and 12.1.3 with the same result) am I missing somehting in my iRule ? or did I just hit a new bug ? Any help would be apriciated many thanks,524Views0likes2CommentsiRule table usage in FLOW_INIT event
Hi, According tohttps://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/table.html table command is valid for all events except RULE_INIT Valid Events: ALL, exceptRULE_INIT I'm trying to use table command in FLOW_INIT event but always get empty value, while at CLIENT_ACCEPTED event the table return non empty value. when FLOW_INIT { set srcip [IP::client_addr] set test_ip [table lookup -subtable "blacklist" $srcip] log local0. "$srcip , table value: $test_ip" } log is "192.0.0.1 , table value: " while same code in CLIENT_ACCEPTED event when CLIENT_ACCEPTED{ set srcip [IP::client_addr] set test_ip [table lookup -subtable "blacklist" $srcip] log local0. "$srcip , table value: $test_ip" } log is "192.0.0.1 , table value: block" Thanks527Views1like1CommentCan an "after" job be referenced from a different context?
This is related to a previously un-answered question: https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/periodic-summary-logging-with-table-and-after. I'm trying to accomplish roughly the same thing, but I'm looking for a more specific answer. I'm trying to count the number of times a certain kind of request has been processed, then dump those counts every X seconds. Is it possible to reference an "after" ID that was registered in a different thread of execution? The docs don't explicitly state one way or the other: after info [ …] * Returns information about currently scheduled scripts, or about a specific . * Returns active timer ID(s) ( ...) for the current executing context (i.e., client, server). * If called without supplying or multiple s supplied, return value is TCL list. When I pass a after ID to "after info " that was registered in a different thread (The ID was saved to/retrieved from a session table), I get something like: TCL error: MY_IRULE - Invalid after ID: afterbf8f674 My code looks something like this: set count [ table incr "count_$tbl" ] set after_id [after info [table lookup -subtable ${static::prefix} -notouch count_monitor]] if { [ info exists after_id ]} { do nothing, don't log right now } else { set after_id [after 10000 { log local4.notice "prefix=${static::prefix} -- count=${count}" table delete "count_$tbl" }] table set -subtable ${static::prefix} count_monitor ${after_id} 120000 } When I run that code, it fails on the second line, trying to reference the "after info" by ID. If I log "[after info] by itself, it returns nothing. After some playing around, it appears that after IDs can't be referenced outside of the original context. Is there a way that they can be registered in such a way as to be able to access them from a different context? If not, is there a different (v10-compatible) way that I could achieve some sort of asynchronous "dumping and clearing" of session table data?328Views0likes2CommentsAppend to list stored in table key
Hi, First of all I wonder if this is good idea to store list in sub/table key - considering performance nad memory consummatum. Let's say it could be list containing no more that 10 IPs. Second I wonder if there is faster more elegant way to actually add new value to the list. My idea is: set c_val [table lookup -subtable ip [IP::client_addr]] lappend c_val $new_val table set -subtable ip [IP::client_addr] $c_val Seems to be a lot overhead here, so maybe there is better way?

Hello everyone, This is my first dig into iRules, and I'm hitting an issue with the table command that is aborting my rule. I'm essentially trying to rate limit requests per URI per ASPNET Session ID. I've been working with the iRule for a couple days, so I know it's not at its best and has excessive logging (for the purposes of figuring this out). I'm testing with a backend server that doesn't use ASP, so I'm setting it statically in the iRule as a failsafe for now. I'm building that up now for testing.. but hit some snags. The main issue is the table command aborting the rule execution. I was originally putting many of the table lookups directly into the if statements, but I was able to resolve an abort earlier in the rule by setting to a variable first.

It's a small rule, and a simple lookup so I don't see why it would cause the rule to suspend indefinitely. Thanks! Ryan638Views0likes8CommentsUser ID based pool selection
hi there! I am trying to write one iRule to select the pool based on user ID. For example, when the user tries to login, grab the ID of test1@example.com and send to pool1 and for other user ID test2@example.com send to pool2. Essentially, after successfully logged in have tried to save the user ID in the table. However, the issue is when test1 logs in, test2 cannot login. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there any limitation on table? I assumed it should be session based when used from different browsers. Any help on this will be highly appreciated. F5 version: 12.1 Cheers. Best regards Hyder303Views0likes4CommentsTable wildcard lookup
Hi, Let's say I am not using subtable, key value is based on variable not know in advance - like value of application cookie. What is simplest way to find all keys - start key name with some constant string like session:session cookie value? If so is that possible to find all keys starting with string before ":" like wildcard lookup? Piotr287Views0likes5CommentsScoping of and/or naming limits of subtables
I have a table which I want to be specific to both the virtual server, and the APM policy which is applicable (it is only written/read during Access Policy event iRules). I tried: table -subtable "[virtual][ACCESS::policy agentid]tablename" ... But this fails when using table -subtable "tablename" .... Works fine. I assume that I'm exceeding the length or other restriction on table name, or possibly I've misunderstood "agent_id". I will try the pragmatic "[virtual]tablename" since the reason to depend on policy is incase the rules change for what is in the table with a policy update, I don't need to worry about deletion or upgrade steps. But if it is obvious to anyone what I've misunderstood here, or if anyone knows the rules for subtable name and length, please shout.293Views0likes2CommentsiRule Table keys - case sensitive?
Have an issue which I'll resolve with making everything lower case. But noted that I can create a key "A" and a key "a", and it seems to look-up the first key when retrieving data for "a". I need to investigate it closer to be sure this is what is happening, but is the case sensitivity of keys documented anywhere?204Views0likes1Comment
