    Hello,

    Fix is to add these service accounts to Ignore List in Collector Agent.

    Hi Alivo,

    Thank you for quick reply. I was applying ignore list in collector agent like this KB https://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD38828 but when we was applying KB, some user does not to be get internet access until restart the user PC. So what is the actual issue about this  and how it will be solved?.

     

    Best Regurds,

    Hello Masum, Thank you for feedback. That would mean the users logons were not available anymore (or never). Restarting PC would also mean a new domain logon once user signs in. That is why the internet traffic works again.

    This will work until the user is removed due to dead entry interval timer (whether expected or not) or when there was another unwanted logon override. That often happens with already mentioned service accounts. Support, in such cases, will ask you for Collector Agent log in debug level. It contains nearly all information for us to see what happened to user logon after they notice the internet does not work. Not that I am suggesting to you to troubleshoot yourself but the info is there. It will show us for example these logon overrides, changes in IP addresses.

     

    Best Regards,

    Alivo
