Custom Reporting with iRules Sync issue

All,

 

I am still somewhat of a newbie to the iRules world. I found the Custom Reporting with iRules article in the Docs and Tips section.

 

I followed the instructions as outlined and I will say that the functionality works great. I found one "huh????" occurence when doing either a manual config sync to my standby BIGIP or attempting to do a b load.

 

Anyway.... here's what I see when I issue a b load command.

 

 

Reading configuration from /config/bigip_base.conf.

 

Reading configuration from /usr/bin/monitors/builtins/base_monitors.conf.

 

Reading configuration from /config/profile_base.conf.

 

Reading configuration from /config/daemon.conf.

 

Reading configuration from /config/bigip.conf.

 

BIGpipe rule query error:

 

012e0010:3: Unrecognized value for the profile stats field1 attribute:

 

20x field2 30x field3 40x

 

 

In my configsync_peer.log, the following "warning appears".

 

............

 

Reloading configuration... It may take a few minutes...

 

BIGpipe rule query error:

 

012e0010:3: Unrecognized value for the profile stats field1 attribute:

 

20x field2 30x field3 40x

 

 

 

Here is what my stats profile (as described by the article) looks like:

 

profile stats user_experience {

 

defaults from stats

 

field1 20x

 

field2 30x

 

field3 40x

 

field4 50x

 

field5 num_requests

 

field6 total_time

 

}

 

 

 

Am I missing something???

 

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone may be able to offer......

  • I had similar issues trying whenever I tried to do a 'b merge' with this profile. However when I typed the fields into the GUI, there isn't any problem.

     

     

    After much experimenting, I figured out that if I changed the field names to something like 'count_20x', I am able to load the config.

     

     

    So it would seem that there is a difference between the CLI and the GUI in that the CLI doesn't accept field names starting with a number...
