If you're looking for a recommendation other than the "latest" GA JHF take for each version it might pay to share some more details such as what blades/features are used etc?

Go to the support center and look up the Jumbo HFA for each version. You will find the "General Availability Take"

R80.40

I have issue in fw-reporter not able to login via ssh and webgui and it is fluctuating, So that why worry to go on n-1 or n version of hotfix.

If there are existing issues please diagnose them with TAC prior.

With that said Reporter (SmartEvent) is a management side feature not Gateway.

Put it this way...TAC will ALWAYS tell you to install latest jumbo hotfix, no matter what. Speaking of versions, I do strongly suggest R81.10, its very stable, just dont go to latest jumbo, as it breaks remote access.

Can you suggest me on which hotfix(take) can install for now?
