If changes are made to the configuration of an FQDN node which has a node monitor configured, and the configuration is synced to a device group, ephemeral nodes generated from the FQDN node may show an Availability of "unknown" and a Monitor Status of "unchecked".
The affected nodes will be displayed with an Availability of "unknown" and a Monitor Status of "unchecked".
This may occur on versions of BIG-IP with fixes for ID724824 and ID1006157, under the following conditions: -- BIG-IP systems are configured in a device group -- The device group is configured for Manual Sync (Full or Incremental) -- One or more FQDN nodes are configured with a node monitor (which could be the Default Node Monitor) -- A change is made to the configuration of the FQDN node -- A Full configuration sync is performed (by a Manual sync with the device group configured for a Full sync, or using the "force-full-load-push" keyword: tmsh run cm config-sync to-group example-group force-full-load-push
To recover from this condition, remove and re-add the node monitor: -- Remove the node monitor from the FQDN node configuration (or from default-node-monitor): tmsh mod ltm node example monitor none (tmsh mod ltm default-node-monitor rule none) -- Sync this change to the device group (Incremental sync) -- Re-add the node monitor to the FQDN node configuration (or to default-node-monitor): tmsh mod ltm node example monitor my_node_monitor (tmsh mod ltm default-node-monitor rule my_node_monitor) -- Sync this change to the device group (Incremental sync)
None
