Bug ID 698992: Performance degraded

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP APM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
13.1.0, 13.1.0.1, 13.1.0.2, 13.1.0.3, 13.1.0.4, 13.1.0.5, 13.1.0.6, 13.1.0.7

Fixed In:
14.0.0, 13.1.0.8

Opened: Dec 14, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Portal access performance had a slight performance degradation. This was identified to be due to a new queuing strategy implemented to improve per-request policy auth use-case performance for higher end platforms in the 13.0 release. The nature of the problem is such that overall system degradation may be observed if APM is provisioned and per-request policy is not used.

Impact

Performance will be slightly lower under load.

Conditions

APM is provisioned, but functionality is not related to per-request policy.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The queuing strategy was altered to take minimal CPU resources when idle.
