Firewall Synchronized Security information missing in Sophos Central.

We have several Sophos Firewalls, and most of them are showing correct Synchronized Security information in Sophos Central.

For Example:

Two of these firewalls above aren't showing any data about Applications or endpoints.

I've checked the firewalls, and they are set up the same.

What would possible reasons be for this?

It's not affecting the firewall performance or anything, it's just something I've noticed for a while and could not find a reason for it.

  • Hi  Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos community team. For the affected firewalls for which the (Syn Sec ) status icon is not showing on Sophos Central from those firewalls can you please validate the below details:

    1)#cat /log/garner.log | grep -i "Response code: '403'"

    To confirm whether any 403 error response is there or not.

    2) #csc custom status

    The above command is to see if any process or operation showing under a continuous busy state or not.

    Please share both the above details from affected firewalls to confirm more and to provide you with further information on this.

  • There are 403 errors on one where it's enabled, and Busy state of the csc command didn't return anything busy.

  • I have one that is returning the following when using the csc command along with the 403 errors:

    Busy service:

  • Hi  For this particular firewall based on this output, Looks like garner service is stuck because of that it is unable to perform the re-config operation,  it may result in an issue communicating with the central, which is why the 403 error is appearing. Please log a support case to review it further and to recover the garner service which should fix the "Firewall Synchronized Security information icon missing" in Sophos Central for this firewall once the garner service works fine. Once the Support case is open please share the case ID here or via DM, so I can add an internal note over it for quicker progress on log collection details.

  • Thanks.  I'll have to do a support case next week. 

  • Hi,

    Just an update in case anyone else is having this issue...

    After Standard Support was able to get the firewalls communicating again, a few days later, 3 of them stopped again.

    I opened another support case, and after a couple of weeks of trouble shooting, the ticket was escalated the engineers.

    Come to find out, it's a know issue with 20.0 and will be fixed in 20.0.2 MR2.
