Sophos XG Firewall 17.5: Logs are not updating on the GUI "Log Viewer"

Sophos XG firewall is offering on Device Reporting and logs, which is a good feature for all SMBs. There is another module "Sophos iView" available for logs and reporting but it is good for some critical organization or big data Center who need a lot of logs, reports, and backup of all those.   

Recently, I faced an issue as there is no log showing on the GUI "Log Viewer" but you will see all logs through the command line or some new logs on the auxiliary device but not on the primary devices (new logs not updating). This issue is reported on a virtual and hardware firewall as well. Today I am going to share how to handle this issue without book a ticket with the NOC team.

 

Issue Reported:

Logs are not updating on the GUI "Log Viewer" application of the Sophos XG firewall.

  • Thank you, even though  my report disk was only 10% my reports had stopped from the early on the 14th.

    Restarted garner and reports are being generated again.

  • Hi,

    the fix appears to have fixed everything except mail. While today's mail shows in logviewer, none of yesterday's mail does even after the garner restart. The Reports -> mail in the GUI is empty for today 16th April.

  • Something went very badly wrong. Today's report was missing details about user activity.

    I have restarted the XG to see if that fixes the issue tomorrow morning.
