Google Earth not showing the plots!

It looks like the Saiku and Google Earth problems are related!

The problem seems to be the anitivirus in your network. As it is shown the Sophos network antivirus is blocking access to the Saiku URL ( 127.0.0.1:8181 ). This means that when you were connected outside your network Collect Earth was working fine as traffic was not being blocked, but now that you have plugged the computer back to the network the Network Firewall of your company is monitoring the traffic.

The simplest way to fix this problem is by disconnecting your computer from your network (LAN or WAN) so that the requests to Saiku don't pass though the network firewall. The best fix though would be to ask your network administrator to include a rule so that traffic to Saiku and Collect Earth port (8181 and 8028) is allowed within the network.

EXPLANATION ON WHY GOOGLE EARTH DOESN'T LOAD THE PLOTS

In order to load the KML file with the plots in Google Earth a KML file with a network link is used. This KML called (loadApp.kml can be found in the generated folder in the Collect Earth data folder) has a reference to a KMZ file that is served by Collect Earth Jetty server. The format looks like this:

http://127.0.0.1:8028/earth/generated/gePlugin.kmz?generatedOn=1442496391596

The reason to load this KMZ file as a network link using a URL address instead of the file-path in the computer is beacuase otherwise Google Earth will not allow to use the second network link that is used for updating the icons of the status of the plots (http://127.0.0.1:8028/earth/placemarkUpdate )

So what happens is the the first KML file is loaded fine as this is just a file in your computer so the firewall does not block it, but the network link with the KMZ that actually contains the plots of your assessment is blocked by the Sophos network firewall.
