All RED Devices unable to connect

Last night at 22:58:16 ET all of our RED devices began disconnecting and are unable to reconnect.

We've made no recent configuration changes to our network or Sophos UTMs.

We have 37 REDs of various models, many of which have been in use for several years.

This is a summary of the logged events from the initial disconnection to the current looping errors:

2022:07:28-22:58:16 gateway-2 red_server[34459]: R20001GHKVGDX50: command '{"data":{"message":"Failed to send keepalive frame: Trying to send PING but expecting PONG to receive first","type":"RUNTIME_ERROR_OCCURRED"},"type":"DISCONNECT"}'

Failed attempts to resolve:

  • Toggling the devices enabled status
  • Enabling and disabling tunnel compression
  • Changing UTM hostname
  • Physically restarting RED devices

We have a critical case open with Sophos, but it has been over an hour with no contact from them.

  • What happens if you edit and save the Server definition for the device with ID R20001GHKVGDX50?

  • Didn't appear to have any effect.

    Worked with Sophos Support for about 3 hours today. There appears to be a communication issue between our UTM and the cloud interface to save RED configs. Escalation engineered recommended restarting the UTM. Going to try that tonight and see what happens.

    Our case notes:

    Confirmed connection to the registry service over port 3400 but could not find configuration for the RED devices uploaded to the registry service.

    Tried re-starting the red service by enabling debug and disabling debug mode for the RED devices, did not make any difference.

    We also tried manually saving a RED's config to a USB drive and booting from that. Nothing we changed seemed to have any impact.

    I'll update once we have more information and a resolution.

  • 2022:07:29-17:46:02 without any action on our part the REDs suddenly began reconnecting.

     The new lines of the log that triggered this are below. I assume someone at Sophos did something, but there are no notes on our case.

    It was a ~19 hour outage with no clear cause or resolution.

    If Sophos Support updates me with more info I will post it here.
