Impact

No DoS events appear on DoS Dashboard.

Conditions

Not yet known.

Workaround

1. Make spurious change in the VIP appears under dosl7 or avrd logs, such as adding arbitary text to the "Description" fields of the VIP (Local Traffic > Virtual Server > Affected VIP > Description) 2. Restart AVRD service - bigstart restart avrd 3. Wait for 300 seconds for the change to take effect. 4. Now, when a new DoS event appears under Security > Event log > DoS, click on the attack-id 5. It should now populate data on DoS Dashboard.
