Bug ID 812993: Monpd process consumes considerable amount of RAM on systems with many virtual servers

Last Modified: Sep 14, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP AVR(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
14.1.0, 14.1.0.1, 14.1.0.2, 14.1.0.3, 14.1.0.5, 14.1.0.6, 14.1.2, 14.1.2.1, 14.1.2.2, 14.1.2.3, 14.1.2.4, 14.1.2.5, 14.1.2.6, 14.1.2.7, 14.1.2.8, 14.1.3, 14.1.3.1, 14.1.4, 14.1.4.1, 14.1.4.2, 14.1.4.3, 14.1.4.4, 14.1.4.5, 14.1.4.6, 14.1.5, 14.1.5.1, 14.1.5.2, 14.1.5.3, 14.1.5.4, 14.1.5.6, 15.0.0, 15.0.1, 15.0.1.1, 15.0.1.2, 15.0.1.3, 15.0.1.4

Fixed In:
15.1.0

Opened: Aug 06, 2019

Severity: 1-Blocking

Symptoms

Monpd process consumes a considerable amount of RAM (several gigabytes). The RAM usage grows constantly within the first 24 hours. This occurs because of the collection of ADM (BADOS) real-time statistics in monpd memory for last 24 hours per virtual server.

Impact

Excessive memory consumption reduces available RAM for other system daemons.

Conditions

Many virtual servers are defined in the system. The memory consumption depends on the number of virtual servers.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

AVR now reports ADM (BADOS) real-time statistics only for virtual servers with BADOS profiles enabled.
