Nimbostratustmsh or bash command to kill all access policy sessions in apm module
Hi,
we are running two Big IP 5250 with APM module. Sometimes we need to kill all APM sessions. Today we do that by going to Access Policy -> Manage Sessions, select the existing sessions and kill them by pushing the button 'Kill Selected Sessions'.
Is there a way to kill all sessions via tmsh or bash command? Could someone provide an example on how to do that?
Best regards,
Joerg
Yes, like this:
[root@big-ip:Active:Standalone] config # /usr/bin/sessiondump --delete all Succesfully deleted 2 sessions [root@bigip:Active:Standalone] config #

JoergKHi,
Thanks for your quick answer. Looks promising.
I have some trouble finding a manpage or some documentation other than the short help output of the command. Are there any additional resources on this command?

Hello, here is a manual chapter on sessiondump, but it does not appear to have more info than the --help:

Hi,
At first I would like to thank you Dave for sharing the manual page. It is not much but better than nothing.
I have used the following command in version 12.1.3.7 some times and it worked as expected. All sessions were killed.
/usr/bin/sessiondump --delete allYesterday I used it the first time in version 14.1.0.6 and got to following output:
user@bi5050:Active:In Sync] ~ # /usr/bin/sessiondump --delete all Couldn't delete session master key Succesfully deleted 4803 sessions Failures on 1 sessions user@bi5050:Active:In Sync] ~ #What is the session master key? Could anybody explain it, please?

Hello JoergK, I believe that sometimes sessions can get in a "stuck" state and this might explain the error. Also this could perhaps be related to HA sync timing. Of course I am speculating here.
