Symptoms

During startup, TMM processes the log with the tmm process name for a hostname until the system initializes enough to get the BIG-IP system's configured host name.

Impact

It might not be possible to determine the source of a given TMM startup log for consolidated off-box logs from many BIG-IP systems.

Conditions

This occurs during startup when the system writes messages to the log.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

tmm log messages posted during startup now include the correct BIG-IP system hostname.
