Hi,

Now i see this geting logget every 5 seconds from the cluster:

    Hi @rv@kaufmann.dk
    Please check your policy and user names to ensure there's not any special characters (anything that isn't UTF-8.)
    The cluster (cad process) is trying to sync the configs between each other and is failing to do so because something in the config isn't valid.

    I can for sure say, there is only valid UTF-8 characters in my configuration.
    The error message came the same second the upgrade started.

    This morning when i checked the cluster the error message is gone. Searching in Dimension and cloud logging do not even shows these error logs, so it seems it has not been logged. Very odd.

    If i force a cluster sync, it completes without errors:

    CLI: cluster sync configuration
    2022-01-06 08:50:30 Webshop-HA1 systemd System backup succeeded msg_id="5501-0020" Event
    2022-01-06 08:50:31 Webshop-HA2 systemd Device normal restore from server image initiated msg_id="5501-000B" Event
    2022-01-06 08:50:31 Webshop-HA2 systemd Device normal restore from server image succeeded msg_id="5501-0021" Event

    It looks as a error starting from when the update is started from the Cloud and not WSM?

    Could very well be -- I'd need to see a support file from the firewall to track down what is potentially going wrong.

    The specific error you were seeing suggests -something- was trying to push a character into the system that it didn't like.

    If it's coming from the cloud, I suspect it's related to international character support, which WSM/PM/FSM don't really support. There were some beta builds that would just display those characters as unicode ? or x boxes instead of nothing.

    I´ll grab a support file on the next cluster i upgrade if i see the same error message.

    I upgraded another M370 cluster tonight from the cloud and getting the same error message:

    2022-02-02 22:01:20 NetGroup-HA2 cad XML-RPC response parsing failure: -510 - 131596-byte supposed UTF-8 string is not valid UTF-8. UTF-8 string contains a character not in the Basic Multilingual Plane (first byte 0xfffffff3) Debug

    This time i have a support log file. Do you want this file to look at?

    If you have a case open you can reply to the thread here with the case number -- I can look at the file there. Please do not post support files here, as they have personally identifiable information (mainly your IPs, as well as your firewall config) in them.
