Last Modified: Apr 28, 2025

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS-A(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS-A 1.8.0

Opened: Nov 22, 2023

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Out of memory issues are seen when too many telemetry exporters are enabled.

Impact

This will increase memory utilization of the system and could cause the restart of random processes/services to free up the memory.

Conditions

When the system is configured with too many exporters with exporter options as "retry-enabled" as "true" and "send-queue-enabled" as "true", and exporter end points are not reachable from device.

Workaround

Disable the unreachable telemetry exporters from ConfD "system telemetry exporters exporter <name> config disabled" If there are too many exporters configured, disable some of the exporters.
