Most likely it is a server issue. The BIG-IP will not send HTTP and HTTP response codes in case something is wrong with the backend or with the config.

You can easily take a tcpdump on the BIG-IP and trace under which condition the backend server sends the 504 HTTP status.

    so normally what is the cause of this response code ? does this due to The application takes longer to respond than the configured idle timeout?

     

    So do I have to check anything from server side?

    for bigip i will try tcpdump and will check the logs.

     

    Thanks in advance.
