What is going on with Cisco as of late? This would now be the 3rd bug our FTDs have hit in the last 6 months. FMC/FTD is great but ASA/ADSM never has this issue.

Immediate FTD Solutions:
1. Rollback to stable versions (6.6.5.2 or 7.0.5)
2. Stay 1-2 versions behind the current release
3. Use Cisco's Bug Search Tool before any upgrade
4. Document all bugs and push TAC for fixes
Long-term:
Consider ASA for the core firewall
Use FTD only for advanced services
Evaluate alternative platforms (Palo Alto/Fortinet)
Root Cause: FTD has more frequent updates and complex features than stable ASA/ASDM.Quick Fix: Downgrade to the last known stable version and freeze updates.

One of our 1010-FTDs came up with this issue. Copy-Pasting the error code led me here.
Any updates to the "bug"?

I have this issue as well. Opened a TAC case where they directed me to these two less than helpful bugs.

Cisco says this is just a "cosmetic error" with no further description on when or if a fix will be introduced. I didn't have this issue till after I upgraded to 7.6.2.1 which was just recently released last week. I am running 1140 FTD's in an HA pair and only one is displaying this health alert.
I guess for now, I'm just going to exclude it from my monitoring.
