This article describes how to troubleshoot when the Policy & Object -> Internet Service Database number of entries is stuck at zero as shown below:
|
| Scope | FortiGate |
| Solution |
show full system global | grep internet-service-database
diagnose debug reset diagnose debug application update -1 diagnose debug enable execute update-now
Disable after around 5 minutes:
diagnose debug disable
If the issue persists, try to temporarily set the internet-service database to full and rerun: 'exec update-now'.
config system global execute update-now
Undo the internet-service-database changes if the issue persists.
config system global
Note: 'set internet-service-database on-demand' is sometimes configured as a memory optimization on entry-level devices. When this option is enabled, it is expected that unused internet-service objects to contain no addresses. To update a previously unused internet-service object in this scenario, configure the Internet Service object on a firewall policy and enter the command 'execute update-ffdb-on-demand'. See the article Technical Tip: Internet-service-database: On-demand for more information on this setting.
execute internet-service4 refresh
If the device displayed an output similar to the following, then reboot the FortiGate and rerun 'exec internet-service4 refresh'.
execute internet-service4 refresh
