deploy error message "policy has been altered since, retry deployment"

jperez netics — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 14:13:00 GMT

we have three pairs of FTD 4100 series managed by an FMC 1600, yesterday we got an error on one of the FTD that says:

Policy "policy name" has been altered since "timestamp". Retry deployment

we didn't deployed anything on this particular device.

Despite the self explanatory message, i couldn't find any documentation or reference to this message and what exactly it means.

if anyone knows what this message means or has a link to a documentation that explain it, i'll be very grateful

i've just found the answer in the link you sent, under the "common failure messages" section

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/firepower-ngfw-virtual/215258-troubleshooting-firepower-threat-defense.html#anc20

This error is shown If any policy/object is altered for the concerned device in the deployment job, after user triggers deploy and before CSM and domain snapshots are created. A redeploy fixes this issue.

thank you
