The Manager Policy Cache option (Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Troubleshooting → Manager Policy Cache or Manager → Troubleshooting → Manager Policy Cache in the case of Central Manager) allows you to clear the attack and policy caches without shutting down and restarting Manager. The policy cache may get out of sync with the database due to server errors, database errors, or client/server communication errors. Once you clear the caches, it may take a few minutes to open a policy in IPS, because the applied policy must be re-cached. The Manager Policy Cache window displays the following information:
Cached IPS Policies— The number of policies in Manager cache.
IPS Policy Names— The names of policies in Manager cache.
To clear the Manager Cache, do the following:
Steps:
Select Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Troubleshooting → Manager Policy Cache (or Manager → Troubleshooting → Manager Policy Cache in the case of Central Manager).
Click Clear Caches.
