Hey Lokesh

 

I wouldn't recommend killing the mysql daemon. Depending on what modules you run, they might dependent on mysql daemon and killing it might cause serious damage to the BIG-IP.

 

  • What BIG-IP version are you running?
  • What modules are you running?
  • How often does it happen?
  • What CPU cores are affected by the spikes?
  • Are you experiencing any slowness/latency from the client side? Is it a problem?
