}
}

ltm log report  :[telemetry.kafka.f5telemetry_default::My_consumer] error:Message SizeTOOLLarge

how to solve?

  • Hello,

    You will likely need to add more sections to the data modification and exclude other data.  We have some examples here:  Data Modification (f5.com). 

    It might be best to start off with a handful of virtual servers first to ensure the message size is appropriate.
