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.

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.

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. -
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. -

Cisco IPS Manager 7.0.2
Hi,
I installed Cisco IPS Manager and it can see the AIP-SSM ips. But I do not see any real time logs and cannot create any report. What can cause this problem ?
ThanksIt could be a lot of things, I would do the following:
> To start of, verify if any events are coming on the AIP-SSM itself (via GUI or console)
> Is the 'Events Connection' showing as connected on the IME summary window?
> Goto Events >> Historical >> Last x duration and see if any events came from the AIP-SSM
> Double click the AIP-SSM (or right click and update the status) to get the latest certiifcate
> Restart the IME service

Cisco IPS make slow copy between linux server
we have 3 subnet A, B, C . Each subnet have some linux servers. Subnet C is protected by cisco IPS 4270.
1)If we config IPS to bypass traffice, copy speed between servers around 10MB/s -> 25MB/s.
2) IF IPS protect subnetC.
When we copy file from a serrver of SubnetC to subnet A or B, copy speed increase from min to around 20MB/s.
And when we copy file from a serrver of SubnetA or B to subnet C, copy speed very slow around 700kB/s-> 2MB/s
The server used command "scp .... "
So we think there are signatures we should tuning. we have CSM but we havent seen any relate events about this problem.
Help me check this problem!Hello,
You can do what Jon mentioned, you might see a signature being triggered when Host C takes place but if by any chance you do not then create captures for both traffic flows (With C and Without C).
Afterwards compare
You might find some weird in that TCP session that involes C (packet loss, then retransmissions, ooo packets, etc).
Make sure you correlate all of the information

Cisco ips logging options (SDEE, IME, Archiving)
Based on the following post, cisco IPS' can send basic syslog messages: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12180461/cisco-asa-5585-syslog-options-ips
Does anyone know which messages are sent via syslog?
Also, I understand the Cisco IME can be used to retrieve SDEE logs. I understand it can archive files. I need to make sure the logs are archived, and kept for at least a year. My concern for Cisco IME is that I won't know if the IME application fails or not. I believe it needs to be running in order for it to retrieve the SDEE logs.
Also, if the max number of archived files ever hits, is it possible to move old files to another folder? And then move those files back when they need to be viewed in the IME?
I am also hitting a deadend when it comes to finding alternatives for logging SDEE events. Splunk used to have a tool that could do this. But it is now deprecated. Anyone aware of any good SDEE retrival tools?
Any suggestions are appreciatedThere are very few IPS-related syslog messages generated - primarily health of the overall sensor device or platform. Anything useful as far as actual IPS intrusion events, attempts etc. will only be available on the legacy Cisco IPS platforms via SDEE.
Cisco IME (free, limited number of managed devices, runs on a PC without any real archiving etc.) is the least cost option to retrieve and display the events.
Stepping up in the Cisco offerings would be to use Cisco Security Manager. It does archiving, hierarchical storage etc. However it's days are numbered as Cisco revamps both the IPS and traditional ASA features to account for both their development of CX-related products (including IPS) and the SourceFire product line. I don't now that I'd recommend CSM for a new buy.
If you have existing Cisco IPS and really need to archive the SDEE-retrieved events, then you could use LogRhythm or such as noted in the earlier reply. -
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.

Does Cisco IPS appliance 4200 and 4300 series have whitelist?
Hi all,
I am wondering if I can do whitelist on the Cisco IPS appliance itself. I understand for IPS module in ASA it is possible...hope anyone can enlighten me.
CyrusCyrus,
It kinda does, it is called Event action filters, where you can excempt host/subnets for triggering certain signatures.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/7.0/configuration/guide/cli/cli_event_action_rules.html
Whatever you put on them, wont trigger the signatures you dont want it to trigger.
Hope it helps.

Here are the signature details:
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewIpsSignature.x?signatureId=5605&signatureSubId=0&softwareVersion=6.0&releaseVersion=S262
This signature detects a Windows SMB user account that has been locked on the Windows server due to multiple failed logon attempts, via the "STATUS_ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT" message returned to the client.
This signature severity is set by default to 'informational'
Hence all the signature is doing is leeting you know some users were locked out due to multiple logon attempts.
The event details will also reveal victim ip which might be the machine on which the logon attempts were tried.
Let me know if this addresses your concern.
