Symptoms

When a BIG-IP is discovered and monitored from the BIG-IQ, it may occasionally be marked as down for one minute.

Conditions

BIG-IP is discovered and actually up. The more BIG-IPs that are discovered, the more likely this issue is to be seen in a given time period.

Workaround

There is no known workaround.

Fix Information

We corrected a timing issue with connections between BIG-IQ and managed devices to resolve the possibility of inaccurately reporting managed BIG-IP systems as down.
