iRule hitcount logging

Hello DevCentral,

 

I have an iRule for redirection based on host headers. I want to make a hit count on each host header. Is this possible?

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::host] contains "example.com," } {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://www,.secureexample.com[HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

if { [HTTP::host] contains "example.no" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://www.secureexample.no[HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

if { [HTTP::host] contains "example.dk" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://www.secureexample.dk[HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

}

 

 

I was thinking that I could use something like:

 

log local0. "Number of hits on [HTTP::host]:[HTTP::request_num]".

 

 

Any ideas on how I could implement it? All I want to know is how many hits each host header gets.

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Martin Karlsen
