Description
This article describes useful information and troubleshooting commands related to FortiGate/FortiSandbox communication.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
On the FortiGate:
Connectivity:
execute system fortisandbox test-connectivity
The return status should be 'Reachable' otherwise a TCP connection on dstport 514 can not be established.
Process debug:
diagnose debug disable
diagnose debug reset
diagnose debug application quarantine -1
diagnose debug enable
Some errors messages which can be revealed:
Example 1:
2019-01-07 10:10:42 quar_remote_connect()-745: oftp_connect failed: connect() failed: Connection refused. <----- TCP connection to port 514 on the target IP cannot established.
Note: If case of a cluster of FortiSandbox Active-Passive, make sure the FortiGate is configured to reach only the virtual IP address of the FortiSandbox cluster, as only the MASTER FortiSandbox can receive the traffic.
Example 2:
2019-01-17 09:54:47 __check_dev_tasks()-788: req-4392648 is deleted: ttl=122389, xfer_retry=0
2019-01-17 09:54:47 quar_put_job_req()-330: Job 4392648 deleted
2019-01-17 09:54:47 __check_dev_tasks()-788: req-4392654 is deleted: ttl=121628, xfer_retry=0
2019-01-17 09:54:47 quar_put_job_req()-330: Job 4392654 deleted

Configurations:
On the FortiGate:
config antivirus profile
edit <myprofile>
set ftgd-analytics everything
set analytics-max-upload 10
set analytics-wl-filetype 1
On the FortiSandbox:
To check IP configuration:
show
To check HA:
hc-settings -l
hc-status –l
Additionally, check that the device is 'Authorized' in the GUI under Scan Input -> Device.
tcpdump -c 1000 port 514 <----- This will capture 1000 packets.
diagnose-sys-top
diagnose-syst-perf
pending-jobs show all all
