"Web Control Block and Allow lists" report is blank

Technical Articles ID: KB87189
Last Modified: 3/25/2020

Environment

McAfee Endpoint Security Web Control 10.x
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 5.x

Problem

Blocked site events are not generated. When you run the ePO query Endpoint Security: Web Control Block and Allow lists, under Queries & Reports, it returns a blank report.

Cause

The blocked site events never reach the ePO server. By default, the Endpoint Security Common policy is configured to log only Critical and Major events. If an event has a severity of Informational, it is not logged.

Solution

Modify the Endpoint Security Common policy to send all events:

Log on to the ePO console.
Navigate to Policy Catalog, Endpoint Security Common, <your assigned policy>, Show Advanced.
In the Event Logging section, change the drop-down list for Web Control events to log to log All events.
Save and apply the policy.

Events are now generated for blocked and allowed sites visited, and the events are reported to ePO.

NOTE: When a site is visited, it will take about 30 minutes after closing the browser to generate an event.
