Symptoms

If multiple iRules have names that are more than 48 characters in them, and some of the iRule names are the same in the first 48 characters, then the statistics for these iRules will be in contention.

Impact

The stats collected about the iRules will not be distinct.

Conditions

Multiple iRules must have names that match in the first 48 characters.

Workaround

Use shorter iRule names, or ensure that iRule names longer than 48 characters (including the full path) have a difference within that first 48 characters.

Fix Information

The allowed iRule name for stats was increased to 256 characters.
