today v5.6.3 has been released...
I'm curious...
starting from this version, are you using lazy-loading to improve page loading???

Again, new version, new bugs. As always. Again I'm disapointed.
I don't think that it was tested at all.
For me it is even more annoying, because I have FG 500E, probably first device in Poland. And 5.6.3 is the first firmware from 5.6 tree, I can't downgrade even if I would want. Another thing, 500E doesn't have internal hard disk and can log only to FAZ, but current GA FAZ release 5.6.0 doesn't cooperate with 500E :D

"diagnose sys top-summary" summarises instances of same process type - "diagnose sys top" cannot.

Doctor: we'll snip it off - use others
We should all talk loud about stupidity od Fortinet's doings. Maybe then they will release firmware because it had reached stable state and was well tested, and not because the planned release dare was reached. This is a huge problem and it must change. Releasing firmware that has 5 or more pages of known issues in release notes is simply not the way to go, Fortinet. Treat your customers more seriously!
One more probem. This time SNMP.

2.1 is the overall number of connected users, 4.1 is the number of web ssl users, and 6.1 is the number of tunnel users.
How on earth the number of web users can be greater then the overall number of users?
This is a test environment. I know that I have 13 web ssl users connected. And that is the number reported in GUI in SSL-VPN Monitor.
By the way, SSL Web users are not removed from the table when they didn't log out properly but closed the browser window. And those users are shown in GUI and in SNMP overall number of users.
Hi,
Good news, I pushed back on the same reply I got from TAC and got it escalated, engineering came back with agreeing it to be a bug.

I'll play Devil's advocate here...
The fact that there is a list of still outstanding issues shouldn't block a release at some point, otherwise you'll never GA a build. We will be the first ones to shout if Fortinet came back with "5.6.1 only going to be released when we solved all the problems, currently scheduled for mid-2018 if no one report further bugs".
I'm glad that Fortinet even publish that list of outstanding issues while other vendors simply don't. Any bug get prioritised and at some point when enough have been fixed a cut-off is decided, outstanding bug fixes are going to the next minor version branch and the cut-off build goes to QA. QA discovered bugs are prioritised again and either solved or passed to next version branch and at some point there is a decision to release. It's the normal process in software development.
Where I see an issue is the amount of regression bugs that appear with this release (and in general). Showing the difference between QA and real world utilisation.
I think one way forward that Fortinet could improve the issue is to do short beta cycle of minor versions to grab the most obvious/annoying bugs we are complaining about.
It would make the product looks a lot better, if the 2 or 3 most annoying issues would have been detected before release (top-summary, sections in policies, ...); they aren't (I believe) massive issues to fix and the fact they are so visible has a great impact on the confidence in the product, while realistically, beside those, this build seems far more solid and a big step forward to be honest.

The point here is that bug fixing seems to be low priority at Fortinet. Proof is that the "Known Issues" list is almost as large as "Resolved Issues" and that's only what Fortinet had chosen to publish.
Additionally, unlike with Cisco, I cannot peruse Fortinet's Bug repository description to determine extent or impact of the known issue on production traffic - tagline isn't sufficient.
Hello,
Is someone use the ICAP feature ? Is it working well ?
Lucas
Waited long time for this release to speed up loading policy and object pages.
Now we are stuck with 'diag sys top-summary' bug.
Always replacing bugs with new bugs :(
And now? we have to wait for a couple of months for 5.6.4 to be released to get this simple bug fixed ?!?!
With every release i'm getting more and more disappointed in FortiOS's stability and starting to look for alternatives.
Why isn't it possible to release hotfixes or minor releases more often?
Every ticket i create with supports end with the answer i have to wait en upgrade to the next new release.
That's not support!

FWIW 5.6.3 has causes a lot of WebGUI waiting to load upon new logins, but once in we have no issues.
Strange but I figure it should be posted.
