Opened: May 22, 2015

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

APM log is filled with the following error when the issue occurs: May 21 16:34:16 BIG-IP4013mgmt err tmm2[20158]: 01490558:3: 00000000: Access stats encountered error: Failed to add/delete session entry (ERR_NOT_FOUND)

Impact

There is no functional impact. However, APM log may become useless if the volume of the error is big.

Conditions

If a session times out before it completes policy evaluation, APM will still attempt to delete its marker from the established session namespace and, hence, results in ERR_NOT_FOUND error

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Access Filter now skips session marker deletion if the timed-out session is not in established state.
