Details missing from CTA Report when running 7.0.1-5165 firmware

LarryLarry All-Knowing Sage ✭✭✭✭

I attended a SonicWall webinar this afternoon. The presenter suggested that adding a CTA report to a quarterly business review (QBR) meeting with a business owner might have value.

I haven't run this report in quite some time, so I sidetracked and did so.

Turns out, that despite having all the options in the Advanced Settings page checked, only an Executive Summary report was generated.

Can anyone with the 7.1.2 / 7.1.3 firmware confirm that a full report is possible?

The workflow is: Monitor > AppFlow > CTA Report // Generate > Download

Thanks!

    @Larry, my TZ 670 with 7.1.3 created a 32 page PDF with more or less relevant information and a bunch of blank pages and HTML character encoding errors.

    Enabling the "Executive Summy only" in the Advanced options produces a 5 pager (only two pages holding information), so there is some difference.

    @BWC - good to know the QA staff has been relentless in their quest to eliminate firmware bugs before release! /s

    At least the tech who called back after I opened the case took me at my word and collected the appropriate logs and examples (a 5161 report from December had expected output).

    Title says '7.0.1-5165 firmware' and the body text says 'Can anyone with the 7.1.2 / 7.1.3 firmware ….'.

    Generated a report with firmware 7.0.1-5161 and for a period of four days, it produced 30 pages.

    @Simon_Weel - I also had success with 5161. I do not have that same result with 5165. I asked about later releases to determine if it was a continuing problem moving forward.
