Need assistance to configure ASA-SSM-10

Question

Hello All,
   Can someone assist me on setting up the IPS ASA-SSM-10 module in ASA 5520 firewall . I have just licensed the box. It would be great if someone can help me with relevant videos\docs to configure the SSM module to enable all the required IPS features for the box to run. I am running ASDM 6.4 and if anyone has the configs to enable via ASDM\CLI whichever is feasible is fine . Kindly assist .Below is the module details.

Answer 1

Do you need the syslogs to be sent or the Events.
IPS sensors do not support syslog forwarding.  Syslog is fairly
restrictive in size of messages and is not secure or reliable.
sensor does support sending of events using SNMP
(again with the same sets of restrictions:  not full data, clear text,
not reliable).
There is a physical ability to send events as traps.  It isn't
recommended for many reasons (or lets say it isn't recommended in the
same way that monitoring using SDEE is).  SNMP trap receivers generally
aren't built to handle, say 200 events per second per device.  The
sensor isn't capable of sending at the same event rate as it is with
SDEE.  The traps are in clear text and are not reliably sent.  They
don't contain the same amount of info as an SDEE event, and can't.
If you need the events to  be sent to a database you can run cisco IME which can collect all the events generated by the IPS.
Hope this helps.
