Why did the FortiGuard service update fail?

If your automatic FortiGuard service update is not successful, complete the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Ensure that your firewall rules allow FortiWeb to access the Internet via TCP port 443.
  2. This is the port that FortiWeb uses to poll for and download FortiGuard service updates from the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN).

  3. Ensure FortiWeb can communicate with the DNS server.
  4. When it performs the initial FortiGuard service update, FortiWeb requires access to the DNS server to resolve the domain name fds.fortinet.com to the appropriate host name.

  5. Because the size of the virus signature database exceeds 200MB, an unstable network can interrupt the TCP session that downloads the database. If the download fails for this reason, obtain the latest version of the virus signature database from support.fortinet.com and perform the update manually. For details, see "Uploading signature & geography-to-IP updates" in FortiWeb Administration Guide.
  6. FortiWeb resumes automatic updates of the database at the next scheduled time.

  7. If the previous steps do not solve the problem, use the following commands to obtain additional information:
  8. diagnose debug enable

    diagnose debug application fds 7

    If you need to contact Fortinet Technical Support for assistance, provide the output of these diagnose debug commands and a configuration file.

    For more information about these commands, see the FortiWeb CLI Reference:

    HTTPs://docs.fortinet.com/product/fortiweb/

    For additional methods for verifying FortiGuard connectivity, see "Connecting to FortiGuard services" in FortiWeb Administration Guide.
