Issue/Introduction

Cloud ASG Administrator rolling out a number of WSS Agent on Windows devices.

When checking the number of Agents where last access is configured on “24 hours”, a small subset of the total number of agents were reported.

Changing the “last access” to 24 days showed up a lot more agents, but still did not match what was expected.

Selecting the admin's device reported the last access a week back, when the agent has been active every day since.

Problem seems to have started late January 2023.

Environment

WSS Agent.

Cloud SWG Portal.

Cause

Access logs missing values for key fields that caused reports to show up empty.

Resolution

Fixed in Cloud SWG Portal update end of February.

Additional Information

Troubleshooting the problem, we looked at the HTTP logs for impacted users and saw that a lot of the x-client-agent fields were empty as shown below:

When looking at HTTP logs for reported agents, we could clearly see the same fields were populated correctly.
