Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

After rebooting the BIG-IP system, the 'Last Error' field in the /var/log/ltm log for a TCP monitor shows as empty (null) following the first occurrence of the monitor's down status. mcpd[6893]: 01070638:5: Pool /Common/http_pool member /Common/192.168.10.71:80 monitor status down. [ /Common/my_tcp_monitor: down; last error: ] [ was up for 0hr:0min:41sec ] And If pool member goes back to 'up' and then 'down' again, 'last error:' string is not empty, but the 'last error" string is not the most recent failure reason following. mcpd[8820]: 01070638:5: Pool /Common/http_pool member /Common/10.2.116.207:80 monitor status down. [ /Common/myhttpmon: down; last error: /Common/myhttpmon: Response Code: 200 (OK) @2024/12/09 00:14:23. ] [ was up for 0hr:0min:32sec ]

Impact
