| Description | This article describes how to troubleshoot issues with the forward-server setting in FortiProxy. |
| Scope | FortiProxy. |
| Solution |
Configuration:
config web-proxy forward-server
Note: To add more detail to the config web-proxy forward-server-group, 'active-passive' means here that one server with the highest weight will be 'active'. The others are passive and won't handle any session until the active node is considered down.
config web-proxy forward-server-group
config firewall policy
execute telnet 10.10.10.10 diagnose sniffer packet any "host X.X.X.X" 4 0 l --> Replace X.X.X.X with the forward server IP.
diagnose debug reset diagnose debug enable diagnose test application wad 101 diagnose debug disable
Sample output:
FortiProxylab $ diagnose wad webproxy forward-server detail VDOM=root server_name=test1
