snovakov, sorry you couldn't view the live stream. Is it UStream that your employer blocks?

 

 

As for your question, the problem is that the iControl Portal is running under the file system protection of selinux that controls file access to various processes. We have an inclusion list for the iControl Portal but it seems the /defaults and /usr/share/monitors directories aren't in the access list for that process.

 

 

I'm not sure what needs to change to add that to the inclusion list. This might have to be something for you to bring up with to support as I believe the solution is BIG-IP version dependent.

 

 

I'll forward to PD for more feedback...
