How to omit bots & crawlers from an iRule?

Data Groups and Classes are interchangeable (which can get confusing until you get use to it).

Wiki Link for "Data Group" Formatting:

Data Groups can exist within the BIG-IP Config file or can be placed on the local file system of the BIG-IP.

 

 

Entries in a Data Group are absolute, so you may or may not need wild cards depending on how you configure your Data Group.

 

 

Hope these help.
