Troubleshoot WatchGuard Endpoint Security Updates

Applies To: WatchGuard Advanced EPDR, WatchGuard EPDR, WatchGuard EDR, WatchGuard EPP

WatchGuard Endpoint Security products use settings profiles that specify how often to install software on workstations and servers. You can configure the time and frequency of the updates for the endpoint software. However, you might notice that your computer did not update the endpoint software on the schedule that you set.

To troubleshoot update schedule issues:

  • Make sure that the WatchGuard Agent is not in a current update phase of endpoint software.
  • Make sure to enable Automatically Update WatchGuard EPDR On Computers in the management UI.

If the issue persists, from the endpoint computer, run the PSInfo Force Sync tool. You can collect advanced logs and send them to Support as part of a case. You can also use the PSInfo tool to provide diagnostic logs to help Support troubleshoot your issue. For more information, go to Get Started with PSInfo.
