F5 Stuck forever in Loading ( Receiving configuration data from your device )
- Jul 08, 2025
Hi Govind_Jha
The most common cause is the restjavad or icrd daemons running out of memory or being reaped by the system. This results in the GUI being unable to load device group information, while other parts of the GUI may still function.
Run : bigstart restart restjavad

Hi VGF5
Yesterday night I have already executed "bigstart restart restjavad & bigstart restart restnoded " which fixed the issue "Error getting auth token from login provider" . What I did now is again given this command and surprisingly now device group appeared .
[XXXXXXXX-lb1:Active:Changes Pending] ~ # bigstart restart restjavad
[XXXXXXXX-lb1:Active:Changes Pending] ~ # tmsh show sys service restjavad
restjavad run (pid 10878) 9 seconds, 2 starts
I checked the KB K26427018 as it says to execute the two command in sequence and it seems they are service disrupting . Is running "bigstart restart restjavad" is a temporary solution and in a permanent fix we need to allocated more memory to the GUI .
Important: The BIG-IP system experiences a temporary traffic interruption as it recovers from the TMM restart, and devices configured as a high-availability (HA) pair may fail over. F5 recommends changing the Management memory size allocation during a scheduled maintenance window.
Yes, if you need immediate GUI access, you can restart restjavad as a short-term workaround. Additionally, you can increase management provisioning and allow restjavad to use extra memory for a permanent solution.
