TMM crashes. The 'virt_cnt' column in the tmctl 'string_cache_stat' table continues to grow over time, and diverges significantly from the 'phys_cnt' column.
Traffic is disrupted while TMM restarts.
-- Enforced AFM firewall policies configured in multiple contexts (global, route domain, virtual server) -- Large number of connections that matches rules in multiple contexts -- AFM configured in at least one of the following ways: --+ Stats collection enabled and collecting server-side stats enabled. Stats collection is enabled by default. Collecting server-side statistics ("security analytics settings acl-rules { collect-server-side-stats }") is not enabled by default. --+ ACL logging enabled, and the logging of translation fields enabled.
Disable logging and reporting of server-side information in AFM firewall ACLs. After making these changes, it may be necessary to restart TMM once.
