IRULE to track connections

I have created an IRULE to track connections to links we have posted for training videos.

 

 

A message is sent to a log file for every different video we have posted and then all of the connections are counted and tallied using a script.

 

 

Unfortunately, there is a search engine hitting the links quite a bit and I would like to put a line in the rule to discard that connection.

 

 

any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

    Is there any way that you could sanatize the iRule you wrote and post it as well?

    It looks like this...

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST

     

    set fdstr [fdstr [HTTP::uri] "/" 1]

     

    if { $fdstr equals "videos/video1.html"}{

     

    log local0. "User [IP::client_addr] has connected to video - video1"

     

    }

     

    if { $fdstr equals "videos/video2.html"}{

     

    log local0. "User [IP::client_addr] has connected to video - video2"

     

    }

     

    if { $fdstr equals "videos/video3.html"}{

     

    log local0. "User [IP::client_addr] has connected to video - video3"

     

    }

     

    }

    If you know the IP of the webbot, you can simply add a line like this: 

    if { [IP::remote_addr] equals "a.b.c.d"} { 
 reject 
 log lcoal0. "search engine rejected : [IP::remote_addr]" 
 return 
 }
