Symptoms:
The number of current sessions of virtual server doesn't match with summation of current sessions across pool members:

It happens when customer changes IP address or port of a specific virtual server while having connections with the virtual server.
Please refer to workaround section.
Workaround:
You can put edge nodes into maintenance mode in order to restart LB docker engine and it will refresh the number of current sessions.
Impact/Risks:
There's no service impact.
