Issue/Introduction
Enabled cookie based persistence using the default custom persistence profile
You can see the traffic in LB session table but the output of command 'get load-balancer <LB-UUID> persistence-tables' will show empty result
Environment
VMware NSX 4.x
VMWare NSX-T Datacenter 3.x
Cause
The load balancer does not maintain any persistence table for cookie persistence. Instead, it encodes the necessary information in the HTTP cookie value sent to client and relies on the client to store it and send it back in subsequent related HTTP requests.
