iCall::MatchAlgorithm

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.3.0
A list of possible match algorithms. As events come in to the system, you are able to declare a subset of events in which you are interested. These events come with a set of key-value pairs called contexts giving details relevant to the event, and handler definitions allow you to filter to a subset of these contexts. Different filtering options are possible. You can require that a particular context have an exact string value, for instance, or you can check it against a particular regular expression.

Description

MATCH_ALGORITHM_UNKNOWN

0

A match algorithm that is unknown or not supported by iControl.

MATCH_ALGORITHM_EXACT

1

The desired value in the context item in the handler must be exactly the same as the value in the event’s context.

MATCH_ALGORITHM_GLOB

2

The desired value in the context item is a POSIX glob as understood by fnmatch(3). The context in the incoming event must match the glob.

MATCH_ALGORITHM_REGEX

3

The desired value in the context item is a POSIX regular expression. The context in the incoming event must match the regular expression.

MATCH_ALGORITHM_SUBNET

4

The desired value in the context item is a network subnet. The context in the incoming event must be an IP address in that network.

MATCH_ALGORITHM_ACCEPT_ALL

5

The given context must be present in the event, but no checking is done on its value.
