IPS 4260 performance metrics

Dear all,
In http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/6.0/installation/guide/hw4260.html (Installing IPS 4260), the following is mentioned: The 1-Gbps performance for IPS-4260 is based on the following conditions: 10,000 new TCP connections per second, 100,000 HTTP transactions per second, average packet size of 450 bytes, and the system running IPS 6.0 software. The 1-Gbps performance is traffic combined from all sensing interfaces.
The information in the manual does not include the following metrics: number of simultaneous sessions (not just the new ones) and number of sessions per second.
Can you please provide me with this information? (1 Gbps performance in transactional environment)

This link may help...

Cisco IPS 4260 - Monitoring

hi!
we have installed two cisco ips 4260 in our test environment and want now to monitor the inspection load, which is from my point of view much more important than the cpu load, with the open source network tool cacti. I want to send alerts when a specific threshold has exceeded.
I already monitor the cpu load, the interfaces with snmp. Do you know if it is possible to get the value of the inspection load of the ips by snmp?
Which others parameters of the ips sensors are important to monitor?
Thanks!!!

At this time the sensor's inspection load is not exposed via a SNMP OID. There is an enhancement request to add SNMP monitoring of various sensor health metrics in a future release.
Thanks,
Scott

Capture performance metrics across multiple servers

Hello. I'm still very new to Powershell but anyone know of a good Powershell v.3 -4 script that can capture performance metrics across multiple servers with an emphasis on HPC (high performance computing) and gen up a helpful report, perhaps in HTML or Excel
format?
Closest thing I've found and used is this line of powershell:
http://www.microsoftpro.nl/2013/11/21/powershell-performance-monitor-on-multiple-remote-computers/
Maybe figure out a way to present that in better format, such as HTML or Excel.
Also, if someone can suggest some performance metrics to look at with an HPC perspective. For example, if a CPU is running at 100 utilization, figure out if which cores are running high, see how many threads are queued waiting for CPU time, etc...

As far as formatting is concerned,
ConvertTo-HTML is a basic HTML output format, but you can spice it up as much as you like:

Out-Grid is very functional and pretty simple:

Here's an example with Excel:

This might be a good reference for HPC, I don't have access to an HPC environment so I can't offer much advice there.

It might be better to keep unrelated questions separate, so a thread doesn't focus on one question and you lose time getting an answer to another.
I hope this post has helped!

Is there North Bound Interface / API from SAP Solution Manager available for 3rd party integration?
i. The list of the modules that are being managed by SAP Solution Manager(s)
ii. The performance metrics of those modules/components at the high level
iii. The information about Early Watch Alerts (or situations to watch for)
2)
Is there a full SNMP interface for getting the above information from SAP Solution Manager?
3)
Is that understanding that SAP has SNMP support for forwarding alerts to a 3rd party system, correct?
4)
Does SAP has both free and licensed? If yes then what are the advantages of licensed over the open/free version?

- Business Performance Metrics every 5 minutes
Can I have all the above data in CSV / HTML/ XML format
I have read the Solution Manager documentation, and it is cryptic for newbie starter
Any help or pointers to someone who has done this before, will be very valuable.

How do you get CCMS Alerts and E2E, can you elaborate or point me the steps/docs....
Thanks!

Does anybody know how to export the events log from a IPS 4260 ?

My company has a Cisco IPS 4260 and we used to get the log from the Cisco Security Manager but since July the software failed and now (December) I need to get / export the log from July to December that I think it is saved into the IPS. Is it possible? Does anybody know the command to see the saved log or the commands or procedure to export the log into a TFTP or FTP ?
I'll really appreciate your help, thanks.

No; That cannot be done. Only through a SDEE server.
Events are stored on a hard drive that the IPS has, if it has not been reloaded they should be there with no issues.
Get the application "IME". If I am not mistaken, you would be able to see those events there and I think there is a way to export them from there.

Performance Metrics
Hi All ,
EBS Version 12.1.3
DB Version : 11.2.0.3
Today in one of the meeting we were asked if our system was capable to handle the growth in the next 6-8 Months.
Now before I could get inputs from them we decided to do some homework.
I am looking for some points/ suggestions on which I can check and compare from the past and provide the answer to the question.

Performance metrics for 8i standard vs. enterprise

I'm looking for performance metrics comparicing Oracle 8i Standard Edition to the Enterprise Edition.
Basically, I'm tyring to determine what level of web-site traffic will necessitate use of Enterprise instead of Standard.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you,
Mike

Hi,
there should be no difference in performance because both products share the very same kernel.
Of course, EE has features like partitioning which make a huge difference when they are used.
So the answer clearly depends...

Application Server (Pertinent Report values for performance metrics)

Hi
With dmstool what are the most relevant values to collect. My objectives are to compare performance metrics on two environments. First one is on 9iAS (or 10 g AS), the second is a weblogic environment.
Regards
Den

when running the dmstool -dump i noticed that some requests where throwing errors "connection refused".
I verified the server properties focusing on the dms port 7200;
I noticed that the listening adress and port was missing cfr httpd.conf
After adding this info metrics are displayed
thanks for the clue;

CISCO IPS 4260 CPU USAGE 99%

Hi guys
I'm detecting something unusual on my CISCO IPS 4260. This device have 2 CPU's but only in one cpu is showing 99% of use, and the inspection load varies from 40 to 50, and sometimes 80, here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about.
Where can I start to troubleshoot why is showing this values.?
Regards.

do you think is normal that the IPS signature with more hits is de SIGID 5575 (NBT NetBIOS Session Service Failed Login?
After doing some research it seems to be normal for a windows enviroment.
Here is the information I got
Description
When a client connects to a SMB server (WinNT, Win95, Samba, etc..) a TCP connection to port 139 is established. The client then provides the server with its NetBIOS name and the NetBIOS name it wishes to connect to. If the name does not exist on the server, the session setup attempt fails and an error message is sent to the client. This could be an indicator of an attack.
Recommended Filter
Exclude internal networks as sources.
Benign Triggers
The default alarm level for this is low because this happens during normal network activity within a Windows network. As an example, when mounting the C: drive from a Windows 95 system to a Windows NT system, numerous session setup failures can occur while browsing the file system.
As you can see you could excluded to stop triggering that, this is an informational signature

Missing performance metrics on OEM GC

We have agents and OMS on 10.2.0.3. We configured performanace metrics as template and template applied for the targets. one of the target RAC database with 2 nodes, an agent on each node uploaded performance metrics until Mar 08th and after that the perfomance metrics shows not data available. These are the metrics related to
1. Database Services
2. System Response Time Per Call
3. Wait Bottlenecks
4. Waits by Wait Class
Collection schedule shows every 15 minutes, upload interval shows Every collection, Last upload shows Mar 8, 2008 5:21:50 AM.
./emctl upload agent works fine no issues.
./emctl status agent shows XML's uploaded.
we did clearstate agent, stop and start agent etc.. no change
No pending files in the upload directory on the target agent, no pending files on the recv (recieving) directory of the agent.
What else should have been the problem? How to get these metrics to upload properly and make it working. appreciate any help.

What version of Oracle have you in the target RAC databases?
For Oracle 9i you must to execute a workaround for enable this metrics

Best practices 2010 IPS 4260

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if you know, how can I get the latest pdf file of the best practices of IPS 4260 series.
One client is asking us an official file in order to approve a request for change (RFC)
I mean, I want to update the latest signature into my IPS, but I need first this file and when I have this file, the client is going to approve the change.
I need an official file, where I can show the importance of update the signatures into the IPS.
thanks in advance for your help.

Does the company also require a RFC for Antivirus/Antispam/Content Filtering updates?
They are just a signature update...
I'm sure a quick google search on the importance of keeping IDS/IPS signatures up to date would provide plenty of documentation...
