Research direction

Start with the otel-collector logs for the bigip/1 metrics scrape and the reported BIG-IP request URL, focusing on the context deadline exceeded error. Reproduce against the configuration with about 8,000 servers if available; done means documenting the cause and a verified remediation or configuration change.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Why do these logs occur?
I think it occurs because the number of objects increases and the content increases.
I am currently using a dns license and have about 8,000 servers registered.
