Bug ID 932853: Delays marking Nodes or Pool Members DOWN with in-TMM monitoring

Last Modified: Dec 07, 2023

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

Opened: Jul 31, 2020

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When BIG-IP is configured with a large number of in-TMM monitors, the Nodes or Pool Members may not be marked DOWN immediately after the configured timeout period once the target stops responding to pings.

Impact

Nodes or Pool Members which are not responsive may not be marked DOWN in a timely fashion.

Conditions

This may occur when: -- In-TMM monitoring is enabled (via sys db bigd.tmm) -- A large number of Nodes and/or Pool Members (several hundreds or thousands) are configured and monitored.

Workaround

You can work around this issue by disabling in-TMM monitoring, at the expense of decreased monitoring performance (higher CPU usage by the bigd daemon).

Fix Information

None
