Issue

  • Connection to the FPolicy server disconnects frequently
  • Below error messages can be seen in event logs :

[cluster-01: mgwd: mgmt.fpolicy.policy.disabled:info]: FPolicy policy Varonis is disabled on Vserver SVM.
[cluster-01: fpolicy: fpolicy.server.disconnect:error]: Connection to the FPolicy server "10.10.10.51" is broken ( reason: "FPolicy server is removed from external engine." ).
