My newly installed FortiGate shows outdated IPS Definitions, IPS Engine and Malicious URLs.

The update servers can be reached. Do I miss a service entitlement?

Status dashboard looks good:

Any suggestions how to troubleshoot this?

I already tried a reboot and manual license import.

    Hello,

     

    I can see that some databases are updated (i.e. botnet) while some are not (i.e. IPS). Normally if database is not used, it won't be updated. I would recommend to create testing firewall policy with IPS and check whether "IPS definition" database will be updated.
