Do you see any problem of doing CONFIGSYNC_BASIC in a grid environment?

We have a java app that will configure virtual servers, irules, pools, nodes, and monitors on behave of other servers. There can be times when thousands of nodes/servers trying to talk to our java app...

Are you referring to saving the configuration locally (via. System::save_configuration) or synchronizing across to a secondary device. For local configuration, you should be able to issue a save_configuration with CONFIGSYNC_BASIC on each change request with minimal overhead. The GUI does this with every page change so doing it programmatically will have the same overhead as using the GUI.

 

 

If you are referring to syncing to a partner device, then that has a bit more overhead to it and should be done sparingly depending on your usage patterns.
