The bigd daemon may prematurely kill a child/external monitor process when a WIFCONTINUED signal is received for the child process.
Health monitoring using an affected monitor type may be temporarily interrupted when the child/external monitor process is killed and subsequently restarted.
This may occur under rare timing conditions when one of the following LTM monitor types is configured and in active use: - external - ftp - imap - pop3 - snmp
None
The bigd daemon now logs a message and does not prematurely kill a child/external monitor process when a WIFCONTINUED signal is received.
