Match type for LbRule conditions
LbRuleMatchType is used to determine how a specified string value is used
to match a specified LbRuleCondition field.
STARTS_WITH: If the LbRuleCondition field starts with specified string, the
condition matches. The fields with this match type are specified as
strings, not regular expressions.
ENDS_WITH: If the LbRuleCondition field ends with specified string, the
condition matches. The fields with this match type are specified as
strings, not regular expressions.
EQUALS: If the LbRuleCondition field is same as the specified string, the
condition matches. The fields with this match type are specified as
strings, not regular expressions.
CONTAINS: If the LbRuleCondition field contains the specified string, the
condition matches. The fields with this match type are specified as
strings, not regular expressions.
REGEX: If the LbRuleCondition field matches specified regular expression,
the condition matches. The regular expressions in load balancer rules use
the features common to both Java regular expressions and Perl Compatible
Regular Expressions (PCREs) with some restrictions. Reference
http://www.pcre.org for PCRE and the NSX-T Administrator's Guide for the
restrictions.
If named capturing groups are used in the regular expression, when a
match succeeds, the substrings of the subject string that match named
capturing groups are stored (captured) in variables with specific names
which can be used in the fields of LbRuleAction which support variables.
Named capturing group are defined in the format (?<name>subpattern),
such as (?<year>\d{4}).
For example, in the regular expression:
"/news/(?<year>\d+)/(?<month>\d+)/(?<article>.*)", for
subject string "/news/2017/06/xyz.html", the substring "2017" is captured
in variable year, "06" is captured in variable month, and "xyz.html" is
captured in variable article. These variables can be used in LbRuleAction
fields which support variables in form of $name, such as $year, $month,
$article.
Please note, when regular expressions are used in JSON(JavaScript Object
Notation) string, every backslash character (\) needs to be escaped by one
additional backslash character.
