Opened: Jun 21, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

A scheduled report (of predefined type) that is created using the GUI might result in a validation error on upgrade, which might cause the upgrade process to fail. You may see this error in /var/log/ltm: Syntax Error:(/config/bigip.conf at line: 86) "predefined-report-name" may not be specified with "multi-leveled-report.time-diff".

Impact

Upgrade process can fail.

Conditions

Creating predefined-scheduled-report from the GUI.

Workaround

If the config load fails, you can get the configuration to load by manually removing the scheduled reports. Impact of mitigation: This removes scheduled reports from the configuration. 1. Edit bigip.conf. 2. Look for analytics objects that have the scheduled-report in the declaration: analytics application-security scheduled-report /Common/... { 3. Remove the object and the configuration will load.

Fix Information

Improved validation mechanism to disallow creating one type (predefined virtual server, multi-leveled) of scheduled-report with fields of the other one set to it. GUI does not set fields of multi-leveled scheduled-report when creating a predefined-scheduled-report.
