NimbostratusHi Thomas, I installed your iApp on many BIG-IP but this time it causse a problem one my box (BIG-IP v.13.1.1.4) :it's impossible to do an IApps "reconfigure". The web interface stays on "Loading... Receiving configuration data from your device." I've opened a Service Request and F5 ingeneer told the problem was du to your iApps : "Here are the analysis of our engineering service:
 
sys application service /Common/F5-BACKUP.app/F5-BACKUP { device-group /Common/device-group-failover-8bdec2e304ac inherited-devicegroup true inherited-traffic-group true template /Common/ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-1
 
The scriptd process coredumped and restarted while it was processing the automated backaup. Automated backup has been executed by iApp, which has not been created by F5 Networks and can be found on DevCentral: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/complete-f5-automated-backup-solution. The script runs everyday at 11:30 and backup files are created under /var/local/ucs (e.g., bigip-1.local_20170922.ucs). The size of the UCS files is about 36 GB.
 
The scriptd died by SIGABRT, due to socket/IO error while it was communicating with mcpd."
 
I've uninstalled the backup iApps but still got the issue. May you help me ?
