Review Forcepoint URL Database download status
Each Filtering Service instance in your network downloads its own copy of the Forcepoint URL Database. When you are working in the Forcepoint Security Manager, the page displays a status message when a Forcepoint URL Database download is in progress, or an alert if a download attempt fails.
For detailed information about recent or ongoing database downloads, click Database Download on the toolbar at the top of the page. The Database Download page includes an entry for each Filtering Service instance associated with the current Policy Server.
Initially, the Database Download page displays a quick download summary, showing where the database was downloaded, which database version was downloaded, and whether the download was successful. From this summary view, you can:
- Initiate a database download for a single Filtering Service (click Update).
- Initiate database downloads for all listed Filtering Service instances (click Update All).
- Cancel one or all ongoing updates.
Click an IP address in the list on the right to review more detailed database download status for the selected Filtering Service.
- If the selected Filtering Service has encountered download problems, a recommendation for addressing the problem may be displayed.
- To manually initiate a database download for the selected Filtering Service, click Update.
During database download, the status screen shows detailed progress information for each stage of the download process. Click Close to hide progress information and continue working in the Security Manager.
