Opened: Mar 25, 2021 Severity: 2-Critical
After upgrading from a 13.1.x release to a later release (such as 15.1.x), BIG-IP CPU utilization increases and SNMP is slow to respond.
SNMP queries take an unusually long time to return data, and BIG-IP CPU utilization is higher.
-- SNMP client repeatedly polls BIG-IP for OIDs in multiple tables over a short period of time. -- Following an upgrade
To the file /config/snmp/bigipTrafficMgmt.conf, add one line with the following content: cacheObj 16 This could be accomplished by executing the following command line from bash: # echo "cacheObj 16" >> /config/snmp/bigipTrafficMgmt.conf After the above config file has been modified and saved, the "snmpd" daemon must be restarted, using one of two command variants: (on a BIG-IP appliance or VE system) # bigstart restart snmpd (on a a multi-slot VIPRION or vCMP guest) # clsh bigstart restart snmpd (However, this adjustment will be lost when the BIG-IP software is next upgraded.)
