Antivirus Database Version

Does anyone know if there is someplace I can see what AV and AB database versions have been released and when? One of our gateways stopped working and I think the first symptom was the AV DB stopped getting updated. I know what version is on the gateway but cannot find a listing anywhere telling me what versions were released and when. I can find it for IPS, but that is still getting updated. 

cpstat antimalware -f update_status shows me the version number installed, but not the package date and the GUI for the gateway just shows 0.

Any thoughts are appreciated,

thanks

This is not easy at all, as AV has several parts and engines, see sk92264 - ATRG: Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus for details!

sk165562 has:

  1. End the load_sigs process by running # kill -9 <PID> on the Security Gateway

  2. Force an update:

    Anti-Virus: # sed -i "1s/.*/100/" $FWDIR/amw_kss/update/next_update

    Anti-Bot: # sed -i "1s/.*/100/" $FWDIR/amw/update/next_update

  3. Install Policy.

Thats odd, because based on below, you would definitely see all that info...can you copy what you actually see?

I attached them. I am guessing it does not give me the version date because it is not updating.

What @G_W_Albrecht suggested looks very promising, but you can also try below as well, based on the exact error you are seeing. I do agree with you that most likely you dont see the details due to the fact updates are failing.

Thank you, I will run thru this article as soon as we get the gateway operational again.  Right now it is in "down" state and will not go back to "standby". I was hoping that figuring out when the updates stopped may help me figure out when the gateway quit working properly.  We just upgraded our FWMGR to R81 and I was getting ready to update the gateways when I found the one was not operating as expected. I am waiting on a call from a Checkpoint Engineer for assistance and was hoping to provide as much information to them as I could.  Thank you very much for you assistance! This is a great forum!

So I was never able to figure out which AV and AB database I had, but I did find out the reason they were not updating  and our Gateways weren't working as expected was a bad NAT rule.  Thank you again for all your help.
