Bug ID 707405: Reported BIG-IP device CPU is 100% when statistics is disabled

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ DNS(all modules)

Fixed In:
6.0.1.2

Opened: Feb 21, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

BIG-IQ reports CPU usage for BIG-IP devices at 100% every 10 minutes when using BIG-IQ DNS.

Impact

The BIG-IP device cannot manage incoming traffic as expected.

Conditions

This can happen When approximately 1000 (or more) DNS gslb objects are configured, such as pools of wideips.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

The GTM state queries to the BIG-IP is now fully synchronous, preventing multiple requests from being sent in parallel. Device CPU still experiences spikes, but if the BIG-IP is too busy then the response is returning with a delay and BIG-IQ will not send next request until the previous request's response is returned.
