This article describes why the standby FortiWeb node logs show power module power-up logs in the event logs, even though the FortiWeb node did not go down as indicated by the System Uptime section in the output of the get system status command.

Event log:

Standby FortiWeb node logs show power module power-up logs

Command output:

International Version: FortiWeb-XXXXX 7.4.3,build0638(GA),240405

Scope

FortiWeb.

Solution

  1. The primary FortiWeb will synchronize its configuration with the secondary FortiWeb.
  2. The secondary FortiWeb will reload the configuration.
  3. The resource check module will begin to check different items, including the status of the power module.
  4. If they are found to be up, a log will be generated stating ‘Power module <power module number> power up’, which simply indicates that it is up after being checked by the resource check module.
