Assuming you have a support account, get F5 support involved to look into the qkviews. I would start by looking at the ihealth diagnostics, and then peruse /var/log/ltm and system resource graphs. You could also look at /var/log/audit and possibly /var/log/secure to see who was logged in at the time the issues happened.
