Suspicious Traffic UI encounters a UI glitch: t.transition is not a function

Products

• VMware vDefend Firewall with Advanced Threat Prevention

Issue/Introduction

Error t.transition is not a function' is encountered in following two conditions:

1. If user navigates to Security > Security Overview > Suspicious Traffic tab and changes the time range, such that there is at least one suspicious traffic event in the selected time range.

2. If user navigates to Security > Suspicious Traffic tab and expands, specifically, a 'Netflow Beaconing' event

 

 

Steps to reproduce : 
For the first symptom:
1. Click Security > Security Overview > Suspicious Traffic tab.
2. Choose a time range which has at least one event

For the second symptom:
1. Click Security > Suspicious Traffic tab
2. Expand a Netflow Beaconing event.

Environment

4.1.1, 4.1.2

Cause

Main issue was that a third-party library named d3-transition has version 2.0.0 installed in implicitly by another package, whereas required version is 1.3.2. Resolution is to replace that version with v1.3.2 explicitly

Resolution

For the first symptom:
See summary of events from Security > Suspicious Traffic tab itself where user can use different filters to get summary of events.

For the second symptom:
Use NSX Network Detection and Response UI to see details of Netflow Beaconing events. User can access NSX Network Detection and Response UI from top-right of the page. 

This is fixed in upcoming version 4.2

Additional Information

Impact: Customer will not be able to see summary of Suspicious traffic events from Security > Security Overview > Suspicious Traffic tab. Customer will also not be able to see details of Netflow Beaconing event, if there is one.
