Check HA sync status

The HA sync status can be viewed in the GUI through either a widget on the Dashboard or on the System > HA page. It can also be confirmed through the CLI. When a cluster is out of sync, administrators should correct the issue as soon as possible as it affects the configuration integrity and can cause issues to occur.

HA sync status in the GUI

• Dashboard widget:
  • Following HA setup, the HA Status widget can be added to the Dashboard. The widget shows the HA sync status by displaying a green checkmark next to each member in sync. A red mark indicates the member is out of sync.

    

• System > HA page:
  • The same set of icons will be displayed on the System > HA page to indicate if the member is in sync.

    

HA sync status in the CLI

• In the CLI, run the command get sys ha status to see if the cluster is in sync. The sync status is reported under Configuration Status. In the following example, both members are in sync:

      FGT_A # get sys ha status
