SYSLOG --- Overlay Controller VPN server communication error

Hello:

 

The following syslog is being generated a lot on my FGT-1000D, and I'd like to make it stop.  I'm not using Overlay Controller VPN's.  Can somebody shed some light on what I need to do, to stop the communication which is apparently generating these logs?

 

date=2020-04-24 time=15:33:13 devname="NPU-FGT1000D-FW1" devid="FGT1KDxxxxxxxxxx" logid="0101053103" type="event" subtype="vpn" level="error" vd="root" eventtime=1587756793216377234 tz="-0400" logdesc="Overlay Controller VPN server communication error" msg="Overlay Controller VPN communication error (Unregister)" status="failure"

 

This is a FGT-1000D - v6.4.0 build1579 (GA)

 

Thank you.

Case has been opened with support.  We'll see what they have to say.

OCVPN is disabled, yet the firewall is still trying to send some sort of registration messages.  A "diag vpn ocvpn log" will show you what I mean, if this is happening to you.

 

OCVPN disabled in CLI and GUI.

It sounds like there is a lot of information missing. it is hard to guess the right solution just from little info. However below are few links I would start with: 

 

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.0/cookbook/496884/overlay-controller-vpn-ocvpn

 

https://help.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/54/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-logging-reporting-54/config-log-adva...

@Raffaele

Opened a case with support.  They kicked it up to developers.  Looks like a bug.

Support provided the following workaround, and it does resolve the issue.  Root cause to be addressed in future release.

 

Enter the following commands:

 

config vpn ocvpn unset ha-alias end

Note: If you are running VDOMS, this should be run in each vdom.
