Bug ID 1366577: Deprecation of string metrics

Last Modified: Nov 29, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG_IP_NEXT(CNF) CNF(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
1.1.1

Opened: Oct 05, 2023

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Currently f5-stats-collector pod exports metrics of type string with value always set to 0.

Impact

No potential impact foreseen since string metrics do not supply any relevant information to the stats consumer.

Conditions

F5-stats-collector pod is installed and stats are being exported to an external system like Prometheus.

Workaround

There is no workaround for receiving string metrics. These string values would be sent as metric attributes in a future release.

Fix Information

None

Behavior Change
