Symptoms

There is as timing issue in merged where it will fail processing a table row with incomplete keys defined.

Impact

There will be a few second gap in available statistics during the time when a core is being created and merged restarts.

Conditions

There are no specific conditions required, only that merged is running, which is true on every BIG-IP system, when the BIG-IP system is processing a table row with incomplete keys defined. Although this issue is not dependent on configuration or traffic, it appears that it is more prevalent on vCMP hosts.

Workaround

None.
