Error in getting site content.
This error is a symptom that something is interfering with the process of downloading external
Fixlet sites, for example patches for Windows. You might notice that you do not gather the latest
version of external content sites you are subscribed to, or that you do not gather at all from sites
whose name is listed in the License overview dashboard. In this instance, the error
Unable
to get site content (failed to pass sha1 hash value checks)
is listed in the
BesRelay.log
file; this file is located in:
-
Windows operating systems
32bit systems:
C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server
64bit systems:
C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server
/var/log/BESRelay.log
The reason is often a firewall or a web proxy that is filtering the content exchanged between
the
BigFix
server and the
sync.bigfix.com server.
To fix the problem, ask the system administrator to allow downloading traffic for the BES Gather
service on port 80. If the problem persists, complete a traffic packet analysis to find the problem.
An useful tool to perform a full network protocol analysis is
Wireshark
