Symptoms

High speed logging (HSL): asymmetric bandwidth loss might result in no bandwidth tracking.

Impact

For a period of time after the logging node comes back up, HSL::send events will not be sent to the log server. Sometimes it never recovers and tmm needs to be restarted.

Conditions

This will occur if the log server pool only has a single member in it, and that member goes down and up while HSL::send is occurring during traffic processing.

Workaround

If possible, configure log server pools with multiple members to avoid this condition.

Fix Information

None
