    Dear Nitass

    thanks you

  • the reload is for syslog-ng configuration because bigip rotates log files.

     

     

    is there any specific reason you want to turn it off?

    , I saw log system as : Configuration reload request received , reloading configutaion.tmsh restart sys service all command restarts default services including tmm which definitely interrupts traffic.
  • Hi Nitass

     

    The F5 still work fine for all traffic on the status led flicker yellow ?

     

    thanks

     

     

  • Hung, Apache (serving the management GUI only) is reloaded gracefully when the logs are rotated and this in no way affects LTM traffic processing.
