Symptoms

The cbrd daemon runs at 100% CPU utilization. You may notice this issue while inspecting: - The performance graphs for the BIG-IP device. - SNMP reports from the BIG-IP device. - The output of utilities such as top or ps. Note: The cbrd daemon performs XML Content-Based Routing on the BIG-IP system. However, the daemon runs regardless of provisioning and whether the feature is actually being utilized or not.

Impact

The cbrd daemon may run inefficiently. Additionally, other control-plane processes running on the BIG-IP device may also be detrimentally affected (depending on the size of the BIG-IP device and its configuration).

Conditions

This is a rarely occurring event whose cause is not known.

Workaround

You can try to work around this issue by restarting the cbrd daemon using the following command: bigstart restart cbrd As the issue occurs rarely, you may not experience this issue again for a long time. This is, however, only a temporary workaround, and will have to be repeated as needed.

Fix Information
