Known limitation of HSL with proc

Hi,   We have iRules in which we log using HSL. If log servers are down we log locally. We wanted to convert HSL logging to proc so that instead of writing these many lines of code just for logging...
application delivery
hsl
iRules
LTM
proc

Is it ok to use HSL::open in procedure? Considering heavy iRule logging. My idea is to pass only the log string to proc. Rest HSL operation will be taken care by procedure.Will this cause any issue.

I don't see any problem, but you need to try.

 

Think about a procedure like a part of the code that is shared between multiple iRules.

 

When the iRule call that code, it executes the code, like if it was in the iRule itself.
