Cisco IPS Event Viewer & ASA-SSM10
I've setup IP Logging on the sensor and can download the packet dumps via the IDM interface and then view via Ethereal on my PC.
How do I get this working via IEV? The menu option 'Show Captured Packet' is always greyed out. I have set the path to Ethereal in 'Application Settings'
There is a misunderstanding in what IEV is capable of doing.
IEV does not have the ability to download and view iplogs.
The "Show Captured Packet" option in IEV is for viewing the trigger packet of the alert that gets added to the alert itself rather than part of an IP Log.
The trigger packet gets added to the alert when the Produce Verbose Alert event action is added to the signature.
The Produce Verbose Alert adds the trigger packet to the alert (it base 64 encodes the packet when adding it to the alert). IEV can then decode the packet and make it viewable to the user.
The Packet Log actions log the packets into a iplog. It will Also include the trigger packet, but also includes additional packets. The IP Logs are not currently downloadable and viewable through IEV.

4215 Java error: When connecting from IPS event viewer
Hello-
I received a java error when trying to connect to my 4215 with Cisco IPS event viewer. It is as follows:
IOException in open Subscription(): java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException: NotAfter: Sunday March 29
Is the web server running on 10.x.x.x:443? Please check the communication parameters of the device.
I can set the date on my pc back to last week and all works fine like b4. I have tried updating my java to the latest version and created a new certificate from the IPS.
Any help would greatly be appreciated:
ThanksHi,
The issue can be resolved by following the steps as below
1.Login to the sensor.
2.Run the tls generate-key command.
3.Make sure the certificate is generated.
4.Add the device again. It should work now.

Hi,
I can't seem to be able to view informational events in IPS Event Viewer real time dashboard, they don't appear. Under the monitoring tab on the sensor i can see them no problem. If i change the signature alert to either low medium or high i get them no problem. Also if i enable the graph in IEV i can see them in blue. They just won't appear in the Real Time dashboard.
Does anybody have any idea's? I've also enabled the box to allow me to view them in IEV. I'm on a 4215 sensor running 5.1.5.
Thanks in advance for your help!
AndyHi Andy,
Open IEV. Click on Tools / Real Time Dashboard / Properties (Or Ctrl + P). It appears to me, upon IEV installation, Informational alerts may be exluded by default. Or it is also possible I excluded them on the machine I am looking at.
I hope this helps,

Cisco IDSM Event Viewer - Understanding Event ID
Hi Everyone
Attached in this discussion is a screen shot of the Event Viewer. Just to inquire, I see a lof of these message e.g. TIPC: Lost contact with, TIPC: Lost link etc.
Is this a problem? These error messages comes with Event ID, but I'm unable to find the meaning of the Event ID. Can someone advice me please.
Thank you
Regards,
RamTIPC messages are communications between the IPS module and the main Chassis. Looks like there are some issues in the communication which may go away after you reset the device. As for the eventID, any event or alert that is generated on the sensor will be assigned a unique ID. This is called the eventID and is used to correlate the summary alerts vs First alerts, Log events to alert events, etc.
Hope this helps

Alerting with IPS Event Viewer
Does anyone know if you can actually setup email/paging alerts with the IEV? The web site for cisco IPS says that it can, but I haven't been able to find anything in the application that shows it can email alerts out when an event is received.
TIA!The current IEV 5.1 cannot do the email/paging. We got ahead of ourselves with the info on the web site. The 5.2 version will be able to do email/paging. Its in QA now and should be ready RSN. Yah, I know, nobody likes Real Soon Now.

Cisco IPS Events Collector?
I use CiscoWorks VMS / Security Monitor for my cisco ips sensors. I'm very familiar with the idsalarms utility for exporting event data to an xml file. But I would like to find a solution to pulling the events off the sensors without VMS or idsalarms. Is there another command line utility or standalone software that will connect to the sensors just for saving the events to a file?
Hi NItesh,
i'm suggesting to deploy another log server.
and config remote log target to that server.
in another way,
you can config monitoring log recovery in Monitoring Configuration > System Operations > Log Message Recovery.

To the Cisco IPS team, thank you for updating the IEV to 5.2. From what I've seen so far, it's a very nice improvement to 5.1.
Email alerts are very nice to have. The only thing really missing from a SMB perspective is better reporting. Top 10's are nice, but I would rather be able to report on all Alerts. And a Weekly / Monthly summary would be nice also.
Thank you again for updating this free product and keeping it up to date.Jon,
Thanks for the info! One more question... Did it blow out the exiting data for MySQL? And/or when you are in IEV and you select "File, Database Administration, Export Database Tables" you still see the Archive Tables?
I blew out my data tables when I upgraded IEV from v4.1 to v5.1. I want to make sure this does not happen again.
Thanks for the reply in advance!

IPS Event Viewer Losing Connection to 4215
With no certain regularity, I am losing updates to IEV (v. 5.2(1) from my 4215 (v. 5.1(1). When I check Device Status from IEV, I get:
ct-sensorApp.335 not responding, please check system processes - The connect to the specified Io::ClientPipe failed.
I can't find the error referenced anywhere. Has anyone else seen this?
If I reset the 4215, all is well again for a while...sometimes several days and sometimes an hour.
Thanks,
JayThis problem usually occurs when the device is overloaded. Check regularly the CPU and memory load on the device. The memory may get exhausted because of some process leaking memory. In this case use the latest version of software for the device.

Hi,
We are attempting to move from the old Security Monitor in Cisco Works VMS to the realtime monitor (IPS Event Viewer) within CSM. The problem we are getting is a subscription error from the sensors when trying to open the realtime monitor.
Error Output: "Error: env:Sender-sd:errLimitExceeded-This subscription cannot be opened because the maximum number of subscriptions are already open
Please make sure the password and user name are correct."
I then login to the sensor CLI and issue the following command which indicates all the subscriptions are used:
# show statistics sdee-server
General
Open Subscriptions = 5
Blocked Subscriptions = 2
Maximum Available Subscriptions = 5
Maximum Events Per Retrieval = 500
Subscriptions

Is there any way to manually clear the subscriptions without rebooting sensor?There is not a command on the sensor itself for closing the older subscriptions.
However, this can be done through a standard web browser using the following URL:
https:///cgi-bin/sdee-server?action=close&subscriptionId=
So if you wanted to close the 2 subscriptions that have not been used since Sat Sep 26th you would use the following 2 URLs (replace the 1.1.1.1 IP address with the actual address of your sensor):
https://1.1.1.1/cgi-bin/sdee-server?action=close&subscriptionId=sub-160-512ad7bd
https://1.1.1.1/cgi-bin/sdee-server?action=close&subscriptionId=sub-161-a56e825f
If you know the actual username used to open the subscription, then I would recommend using that username and password when connecting to the sensor for the above URLs (your browser should prompt for a username and password).
If you do Not know which username was used to open the subscription, then I would recommend trying to use the standard "cisco" account when prompted for the username and password. -
Hi,
i have set up the clock on my AIP-SSM 20, if i do a show clock it will display the correct time, but still in the event viewer the sensor UTC time is different, how can i have the correct time in the event viewer ? i have realized also that if i want to try something and change the time , the sensor has to reset!?No its not the bug, the event viewer on the sensor will only show UTC time, I called TAC and they said the same thing. If you install IEV and click on the alert and look for details you will see the local time.
I wish it should show the local time in the IPS sensor event viewer. -
Hi, i have the correct time (local) on IPS with an UTC offset positionned but on the Event Viewer windows the time of events is always in UTC time and not in local time (system time).
That is an issue or normally ?It's a feature;-) normal. the event viewer on the sensor is not very user friendly when it comes to entering date/time ranges.

How many event actions filters a cisco ips can support
we are running cisco ips 7.0(2) E4, and we are planning to tune some of the traffic everyday.......any idea how many event action filters can be applied to a sensor or is there is any maximum limit on the number of filters?
There is no limit to how many event action filters you can configure. I assume that you also know that event action filters is ordered list:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/7.0/configuration/guide/idm/idm_event_action_rules.html#wp2033432
Also, found this bug FYI: bugID: CSCtf78755:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtf78755
(When over 495 event action filters are configured via CLI, it's corrupting "rules0.xml" file)
Hope that answers your question. -
