Opened: Dec 06, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When a large number of LTM objects are configured on BIG-IP, making updates via iControl REST can result in restjavad, restnoded, and/or icrd timeout errors.

Impact

REST operations can time out when they take too long, and it is not possible to increase the timeout.

Conditions

Using iControl REST or an iApp to update a data-group that contains a large number of records, e.g., 75,000 or more.

Workaround

N/A

Fix Information

ICRD/restjavad/restnoded timeouts are now configurable through sys db variables.

Behavior Change

New Sys DB variables have been added to allow you to modify the timeout settings of restjavad, restnoded, and icrd: restnoded.timeout restjavad.timeout icrd.timeout The default value is 60 seconds for each of these. A restart of restjavad and restnoded is required for the change to take effect. tmsh restart /sys service restjavad tmsh restart /sys service restnoded
