Opened: Nov 15, 2022

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

In the BIG-IP GUI, if a user navigates to Statistics :: Performance Reports : Performance Reports, then clicks "View Detailed Graph", next to "Active Connections" is a graph named Active SSL Connections. Even though many client SSL connections were received by SSL virtual servers, the SSL Client curve in the graph always shows 0. The same behavior is seen via CLI with the 'tmsh show sys performance all-stats historical detail' output where the output displays all zeroes within Active SSL Connections for SSL Client.

Impact

You are unable to determine how many active SSL/TLS connections are present.

Conditions

SSL connections exist from a client over a period of time.

Workaround

Use the alternate method mentioned in article K76898322 to see the Active client-side SSL connections.

Fix Information
