    What do you mean with 'avoid APM policy'? If you want to disable the APM policy for some devices you can use the ACCESS::disable command. See: https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/ACCESS__disable.html

    For the iRule, try this:

    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::header "User-Agent"]] {
    "*iphone*" - 
    "*ipod*" -  
    "*android*" - 
    "*windows mobile*" -
    "*windows phone*" -
    "*nintex-mobile*" -
    "*nintex-tablet*" {
        pool Test-pool
    }
    default {
    }
}

    Hi Niels,

     

    Yes to avoid APM Policy, Using below irule and it is working.

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

         switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] {

        "*iphone*" - 

        "*ipod*" -  

        "*android*" - 

        "*Windows Mobile*" -

        "*Windows Phone*" -

        "*nintex-mobile*" -

        "*nintex-tablet*" {

          log local0. "APM disabled."

          ACCESS::disable

          } default { 

          ACCESS::enable } 

         }

    }

      Nice! Make sure you change 'Windows Mobile' and 'Windows Phone' to all lowercase to match the [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] statement.
