Opened: May 25, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Canceling a request for a chunked stats query (e.g. hitting ctrl-c during "tmsh show sys connection") does not stop data flowing from secondary blades.

Impact

Unnecessary data will be sent from TMM to secondary mcpd instances, as well as from secondary mcpd instances to the primary mcpd instance. This could cause mcpd to restart unexpectedly.

Conditions

A chassis-based system with multiple blades. Users must execute a chunked stats query (e.g. "tmsh show sys connection") and then cancel it before it finishes (e.g. with ctrl-c in tmsh).

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Cancellations for chunked stats queries are now propagated to secondary blades.
