FAZ-VM v6.2.3 high CPU /bin/clusterd

[Frosty]

Upgraded our FAZ-VM to v6.2.3 this morning.  Am getting high 40%+ CPU usage on the VM.  "exec top" shows this is caused by /bin/clusterd.  From reading another thread here, it was suggested that this is a known problem in v6.2.3 and maybe there is an updated/customised build of v6.2.3 which fixes/patches around this.  I have opened a ticket with Fortinet and will post again once I get clarification and/or a fix.

Yes, this sounds like bug id 0596252.  There is indeed a special branch which contains the fix related to clusterd.  You must open a support ticket (as you have done) in order to be provided the image file.  Fix will be in 6.2.4 when it is released.

UPDATE -- because Fortinet Support advised that v6.2.4 would not likely be available until end of April, I obtained a temporary firmware build 1248 from them and deployed this to our Fortianalyzer late last week; CPU is now back to normal and as best I can tell everything else is still working fine.
