"re-starting big3d" over and over...
I have a lab virtual F5 running v14.1.4 and noticed a "re-starting big3d" message over and over when logged in via SSH.
Broadcast message from systemd-journald@F5Lab01.mystuff.net (Tue 2021-08-31 13:52 :30 CDT):
logger[28346]: Re-starting big3d
2021 Aug 31 13:52:30 F5Lab01.mystuff.net logger[28346]: Re-starting big3d
So far I've tried manually restarting big3d and httpd, then stopping/starting big3d and httpd, even rebooting the F5 and big3d is still re-starting. I also ran a load sys config verify in case anything odd appeared there, but it looked fine.
Has anyone seen this before? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks!
Hello Fallout.
It's difficult to diagnose this behavior without context, but big3d is related with DNS and iQuery communication.

First, check if you have the DNS module enabled and if there is an iQuery tunnel established with another peer that could be failing (maybe certs or something else).
If the issue persists, you could try to reinstall the big3d daemon from another device.
big3d_install -use_ssh <target IP>
