Issue/Introduction

The Expiration date for the CachePulse service on your ProxySG is showing as expired, or soon to expire, even though a valid subscription renewal has been purchased and is visible in Network Protection Licensing Portal. In the ProxySG sysinfo file, this may appear as follows:


Stat: CachePulse Expiration
Current State                 : WARNING

Cause

The root-cause of this issue is a minor bug in the SGOS CachePulse component.

Resolution

IMPORTANT
BlueCoat advise to perform the following steps outside of production hours wherever possible, or at a time of relatively low traffic-load on the proxy.


To resolve this issue, simply disable and then re-enable the CachePulse service on the proxy. This can be done in the GUI or from the CLI.

Using the GUI:

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Proxy Settings > General > Cachepulse.
  2. Remove the tick from the CachePulse Enable check-box.
  3. Click Apply.
  4. Replace the tick in the CachePulse Enable check-box.
  5. Click Apply


Using the CLI:

  1. #(config)cachepulse
  2. #(config cachepulse)disable
  3. #(config cachepulse)enable


After applying either the GUI or CLI fix above, the new expiration date should now be visible in the ProxySG GUI or in its sysinfo.
