Symptoms

Com.f5.rest.workers.storage.ThreadPoolStorageRequestProcessorjava.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Impact

REST Framework not being available, causing the "Device Management >> View" screen to show failure.

Conditions

Under HA pair setup, over the period of 6 months or more, the device-discovery-tasks accumulate, causing restjavad to fail repeatedly, once every 20 seconds, logging the message: "com.f5.rest.workers.storage.ThreadPoolStorageRequestProcessorjava.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space".

Workaround

Run clear-rest-storage once a week and try increasing the restjavad.extramb BIGdb variable from 192 to 768.

Fix Information

The REST Framework no longer becomes unavailable.
