Description This article describes the IPS signature 'app.control.signature.test' and the minimum information to provide to the Technical Assistance Center when opening a ticket if such logs are generated by a user device. 
Scope FortiGate and IPS.
Solution

It has been reported that in some cases, a large amount of logs are being generated with the IPS signature 'app.control.signature.test'.

 

The signature has ID 27840 and is not listed in the FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention encyclopedia as shown below:

Intrusion Prevention

 

The IPS signature 'app.control.signature.test' is a beta signature, meaning it is used for internal testing.

It should not generate logs in a production environment.

 

If logs are generated using this IPS signature, open a ticket via the support portal and provide the following information:

  • The device model.
  • The firmware version.
  • The IPS engine version.
  • A sample of the logs generated with this signature.

On a FortiGate, this information can be found using the following CLI commands:

 

get system status

diagnose autoupdate versions

 

The logs can be downloaded as described in the documentation linked below:
