Multiplexer or Bridge Service is not running or not responding
Administrator Help | Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint URL Filtering | v8.5.x
Multiplexer receives log data from Filtering Service and forwards it to the Bridge Service and to Log Server. When SIEM integration is enabled on the Settings >General > SIEM Integration page, Bridge Service forwards SIEM data for processing. Log Server processes log data into the Log Database for use in reporting and copies the data to a specific folder for Cloud Apps Service to process into the Log Database.
If Multiplexer is not running or not available, a failover feature ensures that Filtering Service passes log data directly to Log Server, but data is not forwarded to the Bridge Service.
When Bridge Service is not receiving data, is stopped, or is not responding, noSIEM data can be forwarded to the appropriate service. SIEM logs do not show data for transactions logged while either of these services is stopped or not responding.
