Last Modified: Jul 28, 2026

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

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.8.0, F5OS-A 1.8.1, F5OS-A 1.8.2, F5OS-A 1.8.3, F5OS-A 1.8.4, F5OS-A 1.8.4-HR1

Fixed In:

Opened: Dec 03, 2024

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Platform logs generated by F5OS 1.8.0 on F5-BIG-R5600-RE (e.g., authd, appliance-orchestration-manager, tcam-manager) display inconsistent key-value pairs for log messages. Some log entries use both msg= and message= fields, while others use msg= and MSG=, or msg= and details=. This inconsistency can lead to confusion and complicate log parsing and automation. Example log lines: ... msgid=0x3901000000000150 msg="" message="Http-server will restart as basic authentication has been disabled". ... msgid=0x3901000000000123 msg="Basic authentication update succeeded.". ... msgid=0x6b01000000000004 msg="INFO" MSG="Connection from client address:...".

Impact

Inconsistent log formats complicate log parsing and automation for administrators and tools.

Conditions

Occurs on F5OS 1.8.0 (F5-BIG-R5600-RE, C129) during system events such as authentication changes.

Workaround

None.
