Expedition Stuck at "Reading Config files"

Mohamed.Mezar — Fri, 24 May 2024 21:59:17 GMT

I am trying to migrate configuration from Fortinet, It's quite big configuration (around 65K rule). When importing the config file. Expedition is stuck at reading config files.

I tried updating, increasing resources and even a fresh installation of Expedition but with the same result.
Is this a system limitatio

n for the number of objects to be migrated ?

It's doing the same for a smaller file as well.

The same file was working before the update.

There is a recent hotfix (1.2.90) related to FortiGate. It might have something to do with it.

Try to go for some previous version. My previous installation was two months old and it was working.

Hi @Barely-Working and @Mohamed.Mezar

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your findings.

Is it possible you share your configuration file with us using a TAC case? if so, please send the TAC case number to fwmigrate@paloaltonetworks.com

I will check in my side as well with other configuration files.

For futher troubleshooting, when executing the migration, please check the file /tmp/error

Additionally, you can install the version 1.2.89 following the commands provided in the release notes.

Thanks

David
