      Have another interesting issue, which occurred on an SG2100, an SG6100 (prior & latest stable) and also on CE 2.8.0 (migrated from SG6100) running a HPE DL360p (2xE5-2630L, 32GB RAM, 240GB SSD).

      Some of the aliases with FQDNs are not updated, but affected aliases change. Some are always updated, some are always empty and some are sometimes empty and sometimes not.

      I have an alias EXT_WITHSECURE with 27 FQDNs of withsecure servers, f.e. corp-reg.fsapi.com or agent-api.ew1.famp.fsapi.com. Sometimes the table for this is empty, sometimes it has the IP adrsses of the FQDNs.

      DNS query always work. Also tried different DNS Resolution Behaviors, no effect at all.

      Log is clean.
      I have checked aliases multiple times, NET aliases contain only CIDRs, Host aliases contain IPs, FQDNs or other host alias names.

      Is there any way to get a verbose log of the alias update procedure?

        @tgvoelker Sounds similar to my thread:

        Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
