When $RESPONSE_SIZE, $RESPONSE_MSECS, and/or $RESPONSE_USECS are used in ReqLog profile request-log templates, they return valid data rather than failing and returning the user-specified default value. -- $RESPONSE_SIZE returns zero, because no response has returned yet. -- $RESPONSE_USECS may return small numbers measuring the overhead of proxying the request (and applying iRules, etc.). -- $RESPONSE_MSECS generally returns zero unless user iRules have added at least a millisecond of proxy delay.
Configurations that have used these variables in request log templates might not work as expected.
$RESPONSE_SIZE, $RESPONSE_MSECS, and/or $RESPONSE_USECS are used in ReqLog profile request-log templates.
Do not use the $RESPONSE_SIZE, $RESPONSE_MSECS, and/or $RESPONSE_USECS variables in ReqLog request templates.
The $RESPONSE_SIZE, $RESPONSE_MSECS, and/or $RESPONSE_USECS variables fail when used in request template, as it should. Failed substitutions evaluate to either empty strings (in the case of bare variables, e.g., $RESPONSE_SIZE) or the user-provided default text for the field (e.g., ${RESPONSE_SIZE:dummy_value} inserts the string 'dummy_value' in the request log).
