Why is this endpoint reporting Heartbeat Status Red to our XG Firewall this morning? Status "At Risk"!
As result the user cannot access most applications.

Does it help to:1. Disable Tamper on the client from Central
2. Stop the Sophos Health service
3. Rename C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Health\Event Store\Database\events.db to old.db for example.
4. Start the Sophos Health service
5. Re-enable Tamper.
Just curious.Thanks.
Don't do this until you look at the actual state of the machine. This will delete the current statue which isn't good if the issue is persistent. Instead, check first and if everything is reporting fine - then you can try renaming the DB.

The only thought was, if it helps then you could switch the file back. At least the state is captured in the database file.
Thanks for your replies!
Yes, I saw the event not all services running but this was days ago and the current status was: all up and running.
As this was the machine of a CO, I did'nt want to bother him with technical stuff. Currently the machine is offline, will see what happens today. Yesterday the machine stayed at status red.
Machine is green today after a cold boot.
Strange issue though. Would really expect to see at least something in Sophos Central when Central reports status red/risk to the firewall.
No new helpful Events added to central. Just one update event. I don't like blackboxes.
just an other one today, flipping between red and green all the time. XG reports this client as "red, "at risk". Why?
What's the use of Central events, if you see NOTHING useful there (btw. not even the heartbeat ID).

we have again one machine that is at risk on XG with green state in Central. Now have a support case open for this issues. The way the support case began, I expect a long ping pong without solution in the far end.
this is, what the client heartbeat.log shows. Looks quite similar to what XG reports.
