Adding the body of requests/responses to the data being logged to Splunk via iRule.

Hi All,

We are presently using the iRule below to log request / response data to splunk. I'd like to add the body of the requests to our splunk logging.

I had tried to user HTTP::payload as part of HTTP_REQUEST however it seems that the irule no longer functions when I place this there.

When I add HTTP_REQUEST_DATA to the iRule to cater for HTTP:payload, I break the app - I expect that this is my implementation of HTTP_REQUEST_DATA. Is there an easy way to add the logging of the body of the request and response to what is sent to splunk?

Thanks in advance

    set client_address [IP::client_addr]
    set vip [IP::local_addr]
}

    set http_host [HTTP::host]:[TCP::local_port]
    set http_uri [HTTP::uri]

    set req_start_time [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S"]
    set cookie [HTTP::cookie names]
    set user [HTTP::username]
    set virtual_server [LB::server]

    if { [HTTP::header Content-Length] > 0 } then {
        set req_length [HTTP::header "Content-Length"]
