Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.56 (2021-11-24)
  • Fixed the ‘Test YouTube Integration’ feature in Settings | YouTube to test a range of video IDs in case a test video is removed. This fixes the ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object’ error that you may have seen if you used the Test YouTube Integration feature.
  • Added a success message to the main Settings | YouTube page if the integration is working.
  • Charts updated to include two more colours (yellow and purple) also moved orange and light blue around in the order.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.55 (2021-10-21)
  • Fixed issues receiving syslog when using IPv6 addresses.
  • Reduced extra CPU and RAM usage introduced in 2.0.1.54 when improving the performance of loading UI resources and API requests.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.54 (2021-10-13)
  • The YouTube Videos section in reports now links to the video’s watch URL in the Video Thumbnails and Video Title columns.
  • Exporting the YouTube Videos section to CSV now includes the video’s watch URL and excludes the Thumbnail.
  • Improved the performance of loading UI resources and API requests.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.53 (2021-09-28)
  • Fixed a rare deadlock issue that may cause the Fastvue Reporter service to lockup, and the front-end user interface to load very slowly or timeout.
  • Fixed issues where the data outside of the retention policy may not be deleted.
  • Folder paths added to the Windows registry are now quote qualified, resolving ‘unquoted service path enumeration vulnerability’ issues.
  • Removed the ability to change the Data Storage path in Settings | Data Storage, as doing so would cause the user interface to be unresponsive until all data had moved to the new location. This was a poor user experience and had the potential to cause further issues if the server is rebooted during the data move, potentially corrupting data. You can still change the Data Storage location, but this must be done manually. See our knowledge base article: Changing Fastvue Reporter’s Data Location.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.52 (2021-09-14)
YouTube Videos Report
  • Improved search term extraction to exclude non-search data from certain domains.
  • Historical log import and file system sources have better exception handling for non-supported zip file formats.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.51 (2021-08-17)
  • Fixed issue introduced in build 2.0.1.49 where users only get associated with one Security Group, causing issues filtering reports by Security Groups.
  • You can now add LDAP and Email servers with no authentication details (fixes issue introduced in build 2.0.0.50)
  • Fixed issue in Settings | Sources where the issue “Unable to read data from the transport connection” could repeatedly appear.
  • Improved the display of expired license keys in Settings | Licensing.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.50 (2021-07-26)
  • Fixed a critical security vulnerability where anyone with access to the Fastvue Reporter site could potentially exfiltrate the credentials specified for connecting to your email server, LDAP server, or proxy server.

    Please update your Fastvue Reporter software immediately, and change the password associated with the credentials specified in Settings | Email, Settings | Proxy Server and any specified LDAP server in Settings | Directory / LDAP (you’re not affected if you’re using the ‘Default Domain Controller’ option).

    Also, make sure authentication and authorization is configured for the Fastvue Reporter site so that only the required people have access to the site. To do this, see our KB article: How do I secure the Fastvue Reporter interface with login credentials. ​​

    Thank you to security researcher, Sina Kheirkhah (LinkedIn, Twitter), for reporting the vulnerability.
  • When the Memory Settings in Settings | Diagnostic | Database are set to ‘Automatic’, the JVM Xms (initial heap size) now scales from 256MB to 2GB depending on total physical RAM.
  • Fixed issue preventing the ‘no syslog data received’ alert from triggering. To configure this alert see our KB article: How to setup email notifications when syslog data is not received.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.49 (2021-06-22)
  • Reduced the impact of syslog data import on system performance.
  • Improved the raw loading speed of log data into the Elasticsearch database.
  • Improved search term extraction.
Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.48 (2021-05-18)
  • Fixed a major issue introduced in 2.0.1.47 causing high resource usage and Overview Reports to fail.
  • Search Terms are now extracted for the common search engine URLs regardless of the URL category. Previously, Fastvue Reporter only extracted search terms from URLs where the URL Category was set to ‘Search Engines’ or equivalent, as well as a few other categories. This was an issue for customers whitelisting sites such as Google, resulting in a different category being logged for the traffic.
  • Fixed issues preventing the Report page’s “Cancel Report” button from correctly cancelling the generating report.
  • SourceHost, DestinationHost, and ReferrerHost are now imported as lowercase resolving case sensitivity issues.

Reporter for Barracuda 2.0.1.47 (2021-04-01)

Fastvue has recalled this version due to issues reported by several customers after upgrading. If you have upgraded to this version and are experiencing high resource usage (CPU/RAM) and/or reports are failing, please downgrade to the previous build below. Download the update and click Next through the installation wizard without making any changes.

  • Improved the performance of the Alerts engine resulting in lower RAM usage of the Fastvue Reporter process.
  • Fixed the extraction of YouTube searches after a YouTube change altered the way search results get logged by firewalls.
  • Search Terms are now always extracted from the common search engines, regardless of the URL category logged by the firewall (a different category can be logged due to whitelists and custom categories).
  • Log import no longer relies on the log line starting with NextGen_Firewall[]:
  • Updated default keywords relating to Drug Searches. Note: You will not see the changes to Alerts automatically. Please see our article on Updating Alerts to the latest version while keeping any custom alerts.
  • Alert Evidence that contains special HTML characters such as < > & “” are now displayed correctly on the Alerts tab and in Alert emails.
  • Fixed issue that occurs on some non-english systems (such as Turkish) where some aspects of the user interface would not function correctly.
  • Fixed issue that prevented installation on systems without a .vbs file association.
  • The Source issue “Unable to read data from the transport connection” is no longer regularly displayed when importing syslog data over TCP.
