Issue Number

Description

591895

Issue: After upgrading, events generated in Hot fix 4 is not displayed in 
Hot fix 5 reports.

Workaround: This issue occurs because a machine upgraded to Hot fix 5 
has events with two different values in their CollectorScript field. To 
display the Hot fix 4 events in the Hot fix 5 report, do the following

1. Run a search query in the following format:

sev:[0 TO 5] AND (agent:”<non-HF4 agent value>” OR 
agent:”<HF4 agent value>” )

2. Save the search as a report with type 

Visualization

.

3. Select a corresponding template from the available templates. 

You can use this report template to generate future reports.

For example, to create a new Cisco Firewall Event Count Trend Report:

1. Run the following search query:

sev:[0 TO 5] AND (agent:"Cisco Firewall" OR 
agent:"Cisco_Firewall")

The CollectorScript value for events generated in Hot fix 4 is 

Cisco_Firewall_

<Cisco Firewall Collector Version>

 

The CollectorScriot value for events generated in version other than 
Hot fix 4 is  

Cisco Firewall 

<Cisco Firewall Collector 

Version>

NOTE: 

In the report query, exclude the collector version from the 

query as it creates a dependency on the version of the collector. 

This query returns all the Cisco Firewall events in the server.

2. Click  

Save as Report

, then select type as 

Visualization

.

3. Select the 

All Vendors All Products Event Count Trend 6.1r1

 

template. 

4. Specify a name, then click 

Save

 to save the file.

Now when you run the report, events generated in Hot fix 4 is also 
included in the report.
