Fortinet’s IPS engine spawns child processes only when the IPS service is actively used. The engine‑count parameter reports the number of IPS engine processes currently running
fortinetweb.s3.amazonaws.com
. A value of 0 means no engines are running. Using ipsmonitor 5 toggles IPS bypass mode and does not stop all engines
blog.boll.ch
, and ipsmonitor 99 restarts all IPS engines and monitors
blog.boll.ch
. Therefore neither option C nor D explains why there are zero engines. The only plausible reason is that there are no firewall policies referencing an IPS profile, so the IPS engine is never spawned and the engine count remains zero.
