jslate1980 Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 We are having a weird time with our smoothwall at the moment, where its emailing out blank safe guarding notifications. When looking in safeguarding reports, it is also showing as blank. Looking in the web logs for the user, nothing looks untoward. I have logged it with smoothwall, but expect its going to be a while before anyone contacts me back. Honestly driving my dsl and pastoral team mad.
Primus Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 We sometimes get random entries where the notification email is blank for that entry only on a browser and on the report page of the Smoothwall but shows correctly on a mobile mail client.
ibpalle Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Weird - is the Smoothwall up to date? We did have a formatting issue some time back which was corrected. When you get the blank email, is it blank or is it white on white e.g.?
Primus Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 This is Leeds-46 for us - the other entries in the email are all as expect but then one is totally blank when viewed on a PC or on the Smoothie's report page but is visible fine on a mobile client. The text doesn't appear to even be there - I've tried highlighting it to see etc.

When you get the blank email, is it blank or is it white on white e.g.?The table for the report and username is there, but no url or category set. Same in the safeguarding reports. We are on the latest Leeds 47.
ibpalle Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Any specific tags or type of entry - user search or 'just' a URL?
jslate1980 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Posted May 14, 2021 Any specific tags or type of entry - user search or 'just' a URL? Here is a screen shot of the email: Here is the screenshot of what it looks like in Safeguarding report:
ibpalle Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Hmm, obviously a parser issue there - no time discernible on anything? Was thinking to go hunting for the actual log entry so see what it was.
jslate1980 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Posted May 14, 2021 Its not happening to all of the notifications, but most are showing like this. Looking through the web logs, I can't find anything that would have caused the notification.
ibpalle Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Have either of you raised any tickets with support and can you pm me the ticket numbers if you have?
jslate1980 Posted May 26, 2021 Author Posted May 26, 2021 Smoothwall support have fixed my issue. Turns out there was a bug between scanning and reporting, where adverts were causing the safeguarding breach, but the reporting engine was excluding the adverts. Which cleared the results.
Mako Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 @jslate1980 Do you know what fixes the bug? Having the same issue and it's driving me up the wall.

ibpalle Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 It was found too late to be in 47 - 48 will have the official fix.
tom_newton Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Hey, it'll actually be 49 when this is fixed - but the blank ones can be ignored, they are false positives. 1
