big-iq stuck running evaluation task

we an Big-IQ evaluation task that is now stuck in running status and we need to delete. Is there a daemon we could restart to clean this, without a reboot? We put in a ticket to F5, but only found possibly root cause. Id like to see if I can just restart a service or call a particular API to force remove that task if possible?

Has anybody seen this? BigIQ 8.1

    Hi,

    Could you try to run this command:

    bigstart restart restjavad

    This may change the status to FAILED and allow the deletion.
    If not, you could try restarting all daemon with the command:

    bigstart restart.

    Hope it´s work.

      thank for the response Sebastiansierra. I will try to restart restjavad first. IS it safe to do that during day with limited interuption or wait during maintenance window?

  • Hi again,

    If you restart the restjavad All BIG-IQ functionality stops, The core function of the BIG-IQ system is provided by way of restjavad, which implements all of the REST APIs. so if the Big-IQ is core in your company I recommend you restart it in a window maintenance.
