HTTP Proxy Stops Responding

Hello

I've opened a case with Sophos premium support, but I thought I'd post the problem here as well to see if anyone has any suggestions.

A few times per day we're getting "Proxy server not responding". I managed to catch it in the live log today, and this is the last few lines before it stops responding:

Clients are configured to use the utm as a proxy, and transparently, but both have problems.

Any ideas appreciated!

  • Those log lines look like what it prints when the httpproxy starts up, not the last lines before failure.  Unless the failure is related the the proxy restarting for some reason.

    About 6 lines of these is what I get right before the crash/connection losses,
    To me, it looked like the cause, but I am not sure

    I would start a ticket.  Is this a utm appliance or your own hardware?  if so what are the stats of the hardware?

    It's a SG230.. not sure what the specs are for that, but don't think it's maxing out on anything judging by the graphs:

  • ok how many users and what are your reporting settings?  If you have it set to retain as much as you can set it to that is going to make searches take a while.  if it is at defaults that's different...[:)]

  • In Logging & Reporting -> Log Settings it's set to 'never delete log files', then at 90% to delete oldest log files.

    in Reporting Settings, everything is set to 3 months.

    I think these are default?


    In terms of users, we're authenticating against an AD domain with 1500 users in, but max concurrent users is way smaller - probably in the region of 300ish?

    Concurrent connections are well within the quoted capacity of the appliance: http://i.imgur.com/I6N2RQ2.png
  • get a support ticket started...cannot tell you anything more than that..sorry..

  • Strsmatt,
    Can you keep this topic updated if you started the ticket?

    I got the same issue as home user, and I would like to see this issue resolved too [;)]

    Kind regards,
    Frank
  • get a support ticket started...cannot tell you anything more than that..sorry..


    Thanks anyway William [:)]

    I'll post back with any developments!

  • I would be interested in any update on this problem. Since updating to 9.310.11 I can no longer enable the web proxy in transparent mode as I get the passthrough6.fw-notify.net error and the proxy shutsdown.
