Opened: Aug 20, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

TMM memory utilization increases after upgrading. The keep-alive interval of the _tmm_apm_portal_tcp default profile is set to a value that is less than the Idle Timeout setting.

Impact

TMM memory may increase while passing traffic.

Conditions

-- APM enabled and passing traffic -- The configuration has a profile that uses or is derived from _tmm_apm_portal_tcp where the keep-alive interval was reduced to 60 Note that this can be encountered any time a tcp profile contains a keep-alive interval setting that is less than the idle timeout. For more information about the relationship between keep-alive and idle time out, see K13004262: Understanding Idle Timeout and Keep Alive Interval settings in the TCP profile, available at https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13004262

Workaround

Change the tcp keep alive interval to the default setting of 1800 seconds.
