Good afternoon.

Are there any recommendations to prevent the fortigate equipment from entering conservation mode?

Hello  @unknown1020 ,

Thank you for contacting the Fortinet Forum portal.

I would suggest verifying which process is taking memory either ipsengine or ipshelper or wad and then adjusting the counter engine count which would limit the process usage.

-And it also depends on the model hardware.

refer to the below article for the scripts that can help to set automatic stitch which does an automatic restart of the process :

information and details to verify which type of conserve mode either proxy or kernel:
