CirrusI'm working on an iRule to look at the POST header from a client to look at "jsessionid" and add a 10 minute persistence timer. I created the universal profile and the iRule, but the F5 is only sending data to 1 server.
*when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::header exists "jsessionid"]} { persist uie {persist_600}} *
ok, so the SessionID value is set in the original POST? Then is that header sent in every subsequent HTTP request?
Take a look at this past forum entry.

when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::header exists "SessionId"]} { {[ persist use SessionID 600}
 
CirrusNo dice on that iRule either. The issue is the uie profile doesn't have a sticky persistence, only idle. How do I add persistence once the iRule sees the header? There is no cookie involved in this session from the above responses.
I go the following rule to work. It times out after 10 seconds, which is the value I used to test: I sent curl commands with 2 different values for the header and it created 2 different persist records.
when HTTP_REQUEST { set hVal [HTTP::header value "SessionId"] if { $hVal ne "" } { persist uie $hVal 10 } }

CirrusThis is the Cisco ACE configuration I've been attempting to replicate. While I can see the persistence record, I still get traffic with the same header go to a different server.
sticky http-header SessionID http-session-id serverfarm dp-serverfarm timeout 35
My current iRule:
when HTTP_RESPONSE { if { [HTTP::header exists SessionID] } { persist on the server persist add uie [HTTP::header value SessionID] } } when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::header exists SessionID] } { Back to the server persist uie [HTTP::header value SessionID] } }
OK, if the persist entry is being made, but requests still going to different servers, take a look at this: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K7964 It explains how the LB and persist work together. You will need oneconnect OR a LB::detach statement, as explained in the KB article.
