Description FortiAnalyzer HA configurations that will not synchronize.
Scope FortiAnalyzer.
Solution

Configuration synchronization in a FortiAnalyzer (HA) cluster provides both redundancy and load balancing across all units. The following components are synchronized across the cluster:

  • Device Manager.
  • Incidents & Events.
  • Reports.
  • Most system settings.

However, the following configurations are excluded from synchronization between HA units:

  • HA settings.
  • Network configurations.
  • Local certificates.
  • Device event logs.
 
If the HA pair is stuck in the 'config-sync: negotiating' state,  review and adjust the configuration settings on both units to resolve the issue.
 
Error message:
 
msg="HA config-sync: negotiating with primary" desc="HA sync info" operation="HA negotiation" performed_on="primary" changes="HA config-sync: negotiating with primary" tz="-0400" devid="FAZ81GT22400XXXX" devname="FAZ81GT22400XXXX"
 
Steps for troubleshooting:
  1. Check HA-related configurations.
  2. Check if the local certificate has been used.
  3. If yes, upload the local certificate on both units.
