If there is no network changes, I would suggest that you reload the IPS and see if that resolves the issue.

If you would like to further investigate the issue, I would suggest that you open a case with TAC so it can be further investigated.

Pls check if there is any changes in the network infrastructure since the Global Correlation stops working.

Would need to confirm that access to update-manifests.ironport.com (204.15.82.17) is allowed through the network.

no network change,

plz check the following error log:

errorMessage: A global correlation update failed: Failed download of ibrs/1.1/drop/default/1314000963 : URI does not contain a valid ip address Messages, like this one, in the category - Reputation update failure - were logged 25 times in the last 7495 seconds.  name=errUnclassified

hello jennifer,

i didn't reload the device, i was checking after couple of days the issue and i found that it was automaticaly and alone resynchronizing with global correlation site.

right it is abnormal behavior but i don't have an explanation to what happened.

regards,

Thanks for the update, and you might want to open a TAC case if it happens again in the future for further investigation.

hello jennifer,

unfortunately the problem re-occured.

could it be that the update-manifests.ironport.com (global correllation site) is not stable?

Hi,

We will have to probably enable logs for global correlation using the service account and see what's going on. I would suggest what jennifer suggested above, that is, open a TAC case.
