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,
Jay

This 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.

  • 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:
    Thanks

    Hi,
    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.

  • IPS Event Viewer

    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!
    Andy

    Hi 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 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.

  • 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.

  • IPS Event Viewer 5.2

    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!

    I also experiencing the same error message whenever I try to install CSM 3.3.1, although I did not have any IME installed, and I could not find any IEV installed in my server. This problem happened when I not properly uninstalled CSM 3.3.1, but after successfully removed the application, when I try to install the software again, then this error message appeared. I have looked in all directories, registry editor, services, but still I unable to find IPS event viewer file. Please advice

  • Remote Event Viewer access without local administrator

    I am trying to give some developers access to read the Application log on our dev W2K8R2 servers. My theory is that they can load their local event viewer and connect to the server remotely. The problem is that they get access denied messages.
    From my research, the only thing I need to do on the remote server is enable Server Manager Remote Management. I have done this and verfied that administrators of the dev server can run Server Manager and Event Viewer against this server remotely.
    (So the firewall rules are in place) 
    When a developer (without admin rights on the dev server) tries to connect their local event viewer to the remote dev server they get this message:
    Event Viewer cannot open the event log or custom view. Verify that Event Log service is running or query is too long. Access denied (5)
    I hope I have missed some simple permission somewhere.
    To test my theory I opened Local Security Policy on the dev server and gave the developer accounts permission to "Manage auditing and security log". This does work, and the developer is able view the Security logs, but it does not give him access to the
    Application log.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    With Windows Server 2008 target and source in the
    same domain, please add the domain user (without admin rights) to the "Event Log Readers" group on the target server. Then, from the source server, you can use the standard user credentials to access and read
    the event logs on the target.
    With Windows Server 2008 target and source in
    workgroup, local user account is used. You need to add the standard local user to the "Event Log Readers" group on the target server. Then,
    add a local user on source with same name and password as that on the target server. After that, from source server, you can use the standard user credentials to access and read the event logs on the target.
    For more information, please refer to the following link:

    Hi,
    i think this has to do with the "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service".
    If you don't need the service than try to stop it:
    Start Central Administration > Operations > Services and stop the service.
    or 
    If you need it the service, try this:
    Start Central Administration > Operations > Service Account
    Change the service account to "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service" And Select a "Network Services" Click Save
    Hope this helps!

  • IPS Clock in the event viewer

    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.

  • Event viewer on IPS 4200 DM

    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.

  • IDS/IPS 4250, two sensors, connection status Paused

    Hi,
    I have VMS 2.3 and SecMon 2.2 and two IDSs in there. I have noticed that the connection status for the sensors have changed from "Connected TLS" to "Paused". I have gone through database truncation process and all file sizes are good butstill having issues.
    I deleted the sensors from the SecMon and added only one sensor, the connection status changed back to connected but it was set to paused in one hour time after adding the one sensor.
    I can login to the sensor, i can ping the VMS server from the IDS command prompt and the IDS from the VMS DOS prompt. I have done everything possible to change this condition but none has so far worked.
    any thoughts???
    Thx,
    Masood

    Connection states for RDEP devices are written into a table in the database by the receiver collector object. This means that if the receiver thread hangs or is not currently running, whatever state was last written to the table will be displayed.
    "Paused" means that the collector for this device is waiting for the system to clear a large backload of data that is waiting to be inserted into the database. This can occur if the rate of flow of events temporarily overwhelms the receiver and usually indicates that the database has grown too large (more than 2 million IDS or Syslog events) or the system is very busy (servicing event viewer, generating reports, pruning, etc.). It usually takes several minutes (fifteen or more) for the system to recover to the point where it can begin collecting events again.
    What sounds like happened here was that the sensors were offline, or at least were not getting events from the MC for a period. Then when you reconnected it the events began to be processed by the receiver process which in turn caused the 'paused' state. As I mentioned above, once it catches up with event processing you should be ok. Of course you'll want to ensure that you regularly prune your IDSMC/SecMon database to prevent this from happening again.
    You may also want to look at see how much you're logging. You may still need to tune your signatures down as well and you should not have every signature enabled.
    You should also look to upgrade your IDS/IPS software (you didn't mention what version you're on) to the latest service pack (4.1.5 for 4.x and 5.0.5 for 5.0.x)

  • How to dowload IDS event viewer 4.1?

    Dear Sir,
    I have IDS 4215 now I can access to IDM by IE6 but I don't know how to dowload IDS event viewer.
    Can you help me,
    Thanks very much

    The addition of IEV and the IEV signature updates made the sensor updates to large (sometimes doubling the size of the updates).
    We have several customers that are monitoring sensors on a global network.
    Many of the sensors are connected through low bandwidth connections.
    The large updates were causing delays in getting signature updates loaded on these remote sensors.
    It became a priority to reduce the size of the updates needing to be pushed to the remote sensors.
    These customers are generally using Security Monitor rather than IEV because of the large number of sensors being managed.
    So the customers who were not using IEV were having problem because of the additional IEV files having to be pushed to their sensors when they would never use these IEV files.
    So it was decided to remove the IEV updates from the sensor updates and separately post these on CCO.
    IEV customers were already having to make 2 downloads: the sensor update download from CCO, and the IEV download from the sensor.
    So now both downloads are just made from CCO.

  • Wireless losing connection to wired network and lan

    I have a customer that has an 871W ISR. They are using WEP encryption and a mix of b and g cards. Recently they have started losing connection to all of their wired network resources and the wan, but they don't lose association with the 871W itself. They show excellent signal strangth and keep their IPs. A reboot of the router immediately fixes the problem. There seems to be no pattern or common event that triggers any of this. Anyone else seen this problem before? It started happening after I did a sh tech and the router locked up halfway through it, so I had to reboot. I've reloaded the image thinking that may fix the problem and it has not.

    You can clear the interface statistics on the Detailed Status tab, and let traffic run for a time, then refresh the statistics. The ratio of errors to good packets sent and received should be better than it was prior to the test.
