iRule beginning with underscore.

Hello,

 

 

 

I have several iRules in place with names that begin with "underscore". When connecting with the iRule editor, none of these rules are able to be seen.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks

  • I should add some verification to the New iRule dialog to disallow this. There are server based iRules (look at the iRule list in the admin gui) that are not intended to be edited and they all start with underscores. We chose to not expose them in the editor and the only way to determine if they are system iRules, is by the beginning underscore. At this point, the Editor does not support iRules beginning with underscores. I'll see if there is a way I can work around this but for the mean time, this is why you don't see them listed in the editor.

  • Looks like I can change my mask from 'not starts_with("_")' to 'not starts_with("_sys_")'. I've got the code change and I'll get the updated version of the editor online in the next day or so.

     

     

    Thanks for the feedback!
