The screenshot below shows that Performance SLA status displays a '?':
Collect the link monitor debug:
diagnose debug application link-monitor -1
Refer to the example output showing only necessary log details: lnkmtd::ping_socket_set(115): <----- Failure to connect the ping socket for the monitor
To disable debug:
diagnose debug disable
This issue can be fixed by restarting the 'lnkmtd' process. To restart the process, use the methods below:
diagnose sys process pidof lnkmtd
diagnose sys kill 11 <pid>
If multiple processes are there, then the above command needs to be repeated for every PID.
To kill all the PIDs of the lnkmtd process at once, the following command can be executed:
fnsysctl killall lnkmtd
Once this is done, the performance SLA will display the right status as shown below: |
