Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.6.0, F5OS-A 1.4.0, F5OS-A 1.3.0

Opened: Aug 11, 2022

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

As we received multiple RAS events continuously while monitoring, the telemetry.db size grew to 50G.

Impact

File system will not be accessible as telemetry.db is consuming more space.

Conditions

If the hardware is in issue state, we can see more events getting generated, which will increase the telemetry.db size.

Workaround

Delete the telemetry.db file and restart the platform-monitor service.

Fix Information

This fix truncates the telemetry.db to a size of 500 MB or less.
