We already contact the Sophos support... 1 month to have the reply from the support. You can imagin that we trying different ways to solve the problem, a momentary solution is re install Sophos but it's not for always.

Thank you !

  • AS you can see, the heartbeat status switching every minutes ! In central it's green fixed... 

  • that's the very same for us. and on the XG it's always flapping between 1 and 3 in heartbeat.log. Maybe this is happening when the computers are idle. It only happens for a small percentage of devices but I want to know why they appear risky to XG.

    I will mention your case number in my support case. Currently they want me to re-register the XG into central because they cannot put fwcm-heartbeatd.log into debug. See my post community.sophos.com/.../logging-heartbeat-vs-fwcm-heartbeatd-500-opcode-failed

  • I will try this command thank you

  • PS: The Flap should be better in MR5 with the CLI Change. docs.sophos.com/.../SystemCommands.html

    __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  • I executed service fwcm-heartbeatd:debug -ds nosync

    But i have this error in the log??

  • The EP is reporting a change in the status. So its a EP issue in the first place. Check the heartbeat.log on the endpoint in the installation directory if you can find a reason for the status change.
