NimbostratusIf an iRule performs a query against a virtual that is hosted on the same F5, for instance a SOAP call, is it possible to capture that traffic using tcpdump?
Since the traffic is not entering or leaving the F5 on a specific interface, it would appear that there is no way for tcpdump to capture this traffic.
thanks!
Employeehave you tried interface 0.0?
e.g.
tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnn -s0 -w /var/tmp/output.pcap
CirrocumulusMuch as I love tcpdump... And tcpdump on 0.0 should find it as nitass says above.
However you may be better to try and capture on an analytics profile instead. The analytics profile capture shouldn't be bound by the 200pps limit on tcpdump (Which makes tcpdump a bit hit & miss on a moderately loaded system) SOL6546
There's also a very good SOL note on capturing INTERNAL traffic using tcpdump... SOL13637
