AFM reporting no data

Hi!

I have an AFM installation here that seems to be working very well as firewall and ddos protection, but the problem is that none of the reports are working. I have a logging profile created for all the VSs and the publisher is set as local-db-publisher everywhere.

Logs working:

Reports not working:

It is also possible to observe some javascript errors being report in console:

My logging profile:

security log profile Log_Local {
    dos-network-publisher local-db-publisher
    ip-intelligence {
        log-publisher local-db-publisher
    }
    network {
        Log_Local {
            filter {
                log-ip-errors enabled
                log-tcp-errors enabled
            }
            publisher local-db-publisher
        }
    }
    port-misuse {
        log-publisher local-db-publisher
    }
    protocol-dns-dos-publisher local-db-publisher
    protocol-inspection {
        log-publisher local-db-publisher
    }
    protocol-sip-dos-publisher local-db-publisher
    traffic-statistics {
        active-flows enabled
        log-publisher local-db-publisher
        missed-flows enabled
        reaped-flows enabled
        syncookies enabled
        syncookies-whitelist enabled
    }
}

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

    No... But it seems to be a problem in the version 13.1.0.7, as after downgrading to 13.1.0.5 they started to work. I noted also that all the reports work better with internet explorer with only minor errors. Some reports will not open in chrome or firefox.

    All AFM reports stop working when you add the device in BIG-IQ. As I was not able to copy the configuration while downgrading from 13.1.0.7 to 13.1.0.5, BIG-IQ lost the device trust, and that is why the reports worked in that version. I noted it after adding the device again into BIG-IQ because the reports simply stopped again. Only to be very sure about it I have upgraded it to 13.1.0.8 and, seeing that the reports were still not working, I removed the device from BIG-IQ. After that all the local AFM reports came back to life.

     

    This is not a version thing, nor even a bug. Maybe only an annoying new feature. It makes some sense considering that since 13.1, or when I started to note this behavior, it is not even possible anymore to enable local and remote logging at same time.
