Fixed In:

Opened: Mar 09, 2017

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

When unbound (DNS cache) produces an error message, it's written to /var/log/ltm as a message from tmm. However, there is no indication that the message has anything to do with DNS caching. As a result of this issue, you might see errors similar to the following: -- err tmm5[14207]: tcp connect: errno 10 -- err tmm1[14244]: comm_point_tmm_recv_from failed: Software caused connection abort -- err tmm3[11846]: recvfrom failed

Impact

Some of these messages are benign, but there is no indication of that, or the associated functionality where the message was triggered. Difficulty troubleshooting the underlying issue.

Conditions

-- Unbound (DNS cache) produces an error message. -- Viewing these logged messages in /var/log/ltm.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Logged messages now indicate their association with DNS cache. For example: -- info tmm4[19404]: DNScache: sending query -- info tmm4[19404]: DNScache: response for example.com. A IN
