Symptoms

The system reports clusterd logs heartbeat check messages at log level info, similar to the following. -- info clusterd[6161]: 013a0007:6: Skipping heartbeat check on peer slot 3: Slot is DOWN. -- info clusterd[5705]: 013a0007:6: Checking heartbeat of peer slot: 2 (Last heartbeat 0 seconds ago)

Impact

This is a cosmetic issue: clusterd heartbeat messages will be logged at info to the /var/log/ltm.

Workaround

Set log.clusterd.level to notice.

Fix Information
