  • Fixed a major issue where data exceeding the retention policy was not removed if was older than 32 days.

    FortiGate Size Logging Issue
    This screenshot from FortiAnalyzer shows how FortiGate's Web Filter does not log the expected sent/received sizes for individual URLs. Fastvue Reporter for FortiGate now performs the calculations necessary to present accurate size values for each URL.
     
  • Improved Search Terms field to remove values that are not actual searches.
  • Added two new widgets 'Users' and 'Source Hosts and MACs' widgets to the Network section in IT / Network Security and All Usage Reports. Also moved the Network section higher in the report.

  • Fixed issues preventing the ability to cancel in-progress Overview Reports.
  • Activity Reports now limit the individual URLs returned within each browsing session's inner table to 2000 rows, improving performance and general readability.
  • Added APIs for retrieving Elasticsearch index details (Database.ElasticIndexInfo) and requesting a reindex (Database.ElasticReindex(index)) in the case that its field mapping becomes invalid.

  • Changing data location via the UI or API now rejects the request if the path is the same, is a subfolder of the original path, or the new path cannot be written to.

  • Elasticsearch's maximum and initial memory usage (appears as the Open JDK / Java process in Task Manager) can now be adjusted in Settings | Diagnostics | Database.

  • The ports used by Elasticsearch can now be customised using the DatabaseElasticPort and DatabaseElasticTransportTcpPort settings in Fastvue Reporter's Settings.xml.
