SUMMARY

After I starting AS3 container, its REST API never works. When I entered into the container, I noticed there were many many core files under /etc/service/restnoded, and their number was growing. The disk consumption of my container host machine was growing quickly, too. I think restnoded was repeatly crashing and restarting in AS3 container.

This problem occurs in some of my servers and VMs. Some others servers do not have this problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

EXPECTED RESULTS

ACTUAL RESULTS

[zhaoqin-github]

One of restnoded core file is uploaded.

core.13.zip

[zhaoqin-github]

I think the root cause should be nodejs/docker-node#813

In my container restnoded crashes immediately after process.setgid(options.group); in /usr/share/rest/node/src/restWorkerHost.js

Tracking with AT-314

[zhaoqin-github]

The latest image of f5devcentral/f5-api-services-gateway (version 1.0.11) fixes the crashing problem. Wait for AS3 to publish a new image.

The iControl LX in ASG 1.0.11 can not work. Need to use ASG 1.0.12

[dstokesf5]

Since AS3 is using the latest version of ASG, I am closing this issue.
