Fire irule when condition met

This one? K14397: Running a command or custom script based on a syslog message

 

You can write a code that attaches an iRule to a virtual using tmsh scripting. See TMSH Scripting in v10.1

 

Sample implementation:

/config/alert_user.conf

(see K14397) -- this attaches the iRule

TestMe

to the virtual

vs

when a message containing "I sense something" appears in

/var/log/ltm

.

alert st_exec_command "I sense something" {
  exec command="tmsh modify ltm virtual vs rules { TestMe }"
}

Send a test log message:

 logger -p local0.info "I sense something; a presence I have not felt since..."

Check if the iRule is attached:

 tmsh list ltm virtual vs rules
ltm virtual vs {
    rules {
        TestMe
    }
}

Access the virtual. See if it fired. In this example, the

TestMe

iRule logs message (log local0. "xxxx").

You need to find the exact log message that trigers the iRule. If the virtual already had other iRules, the logic may become more complex. In that case, you may want to write a tmsh script.
