Bigfix Web Report No Longer Working - Fixlet FixDate by ComputerGroup w/Date Search

We recently upgraded to version 10.0.1.41 and appears some of our BF web reports are now broken. We seen previous threads regarding the display site name changing and have amended the site display name from “Patches for Windows (English)” to “Patches for Windows” but it did not alleviate the issue. When we run the report no results are displayed. Anyone else have this report working in a newer version of Bigfix or perhaps someone can spot the error in the relevance clause?

Similar to this report being discussed here - https://forum.bigfix.com/t/fixlet-remediation-history-by-computer-name/6151/78

I would tend to use

name of site of it = "Enterprise Security"

not sure if it will fix your issue, that’s just my normal way of referencing sites (especially after that issue of the display name of Enterprise Security changing unexpectedly)

We attempted that approach as well, but still experiencing no results being returned. We are going to break down the relevance being used to see what we can uncover.

Are you sure you don’t have some corrupt endpoint or computer group in the environment that is causing the issue? I copy/pasted your report exactly as is and it was working fine for me (environment is on 10.0.1 as well).

Not that we are aware of. We’ve attempted multiple groups from multiple sites. We will continue digging, but thank you very much for pulling the report into your environment and validating functionality.

What I would do is extract the runtime relevance clause, plug it into Presentation Debugger in the console and start peeling back off of it (remove the data first and just see the cross-referenced data; if that doesn’t work remove the results and leave the members of the group clause only; and so on). That should give you indication up-to what point your code is working and where the problem comes…

To retrieve the relevance just stick an alert clause with the relevance variable. Depending on how long it is and what browser you use you may need to try another browser (seen some browsers have limit on # characters within alert statement).

var relevance = ‘…’;
alert(relevance);
strResponse = EvaluateRelevance(relevance);

We dug through the relevance and honestly can’t find anything outstanding. We took the same code from this site we posted earlier and created a new report in our Bigfix DEV env running the same version and it it worked without issue. I almost wondering if we are reaching some sort of timeout or bug in our prod env.

Looking at the change list from 10.0.1 -> 10.0.2 there are issues addressed with web reports - https://support.bigfix.com/bes/changes/fullchangelist-100.txt

Issue BFP-19262 - DA KB0085617 - On a Window system, where BigFix Root server and WebReports service 9.5.16 and 10.0.1 are running, there could be a lot of intra process connections in TIME_WAIT

Enabled webreports logs on both environments and nothing outstanding there. Both are similar in nature of showing the execution of the report. The hunt continues…
