Scope |
FortiGate v7.2.10. |

Symptoms:
FGT # diagnose webfilter fortiguard cache dump

FGT # diagnose test application wf_monitor 99 Restarting WF monitor.
FGT # diagnose webfilter fortiguard cache dump
Caution: This command is for diagnostic purposes ONLY. The bigger the cache size is set, the more impact on performance the command has. Do you want to continue? (y/n)y Cache is not enabled. FGT #
To fix:
Run the following CLI commands to check.
FGT # diagnose sys process pidof wad FGT # diagnose sys process pidof ipsengine
If the list goes above 200, limit the number of WAD and ipsengine processes.
FGT # config system global FGT # set wad-worker-count 80 FGT # end
FGT # config ips global FGT # set engine-count 80 FGT # end
It is necessary to upgrade FortiGate firmware version to v7.2.11, v7.4.8, or above. |
