Restarting Analysis Engine on IDSM-2

Hi All,
I have an IDSM-2 module and I have noticed that the analysis engine stops very frequently (I do a show version and I see the analisys engine not running). Is there a way to restart it without reseting the module?
I also see the following message:
Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.30-IDS-smp-bigphys/modules.dep
does anybody know what does it mean?
Regards

Hi Vicente,
The work around was to disable auto-update, sigs 3333 and 5597 (SMB MSRPC Messenger Overflow). I have no idea why this was the work around but it seems to have worked. They are also supposed to have a minor version upgrade on Monday that fixes this issue I just found out.
Cheers

  • Analysis Engine

    The sensor IDS 4250XL 5.1 reports that the daemon AnalysisEngine has a status of not Runnnig. What does it mean? What i have to do? It is probably this is the source of the problem i have with the deployment of this sensor from the IPS Manager??
    Thank you

    If the Analysis Engine is not running, the sensor will not analyze traffic and will therefore be useless (won't generate alerts..). To restart the analysis engine, make a service account then log into the service account and run the command below (you must su to root first).
    /etc/init.d/cids restart
    Hope this helps.

  • Analysis engine fails frequently.

    hi, Recently i deployed ips4240 inline -with software versions -
    IPS-K9-sp-5.0-6
    IPS-sig-S242-minreq-5.0-6.pkg
    I found that the Analysis engine keeps failing (please refer the screen msg below).
    I am using one pair of interface for in-line configuration and I have modified quite a few signature response to drop the packets.

  • 4215 IPS 5.x analysis engine woes

    I've got about 20 4215's that i'm upgrading from 4.1 to 5.x
    Like everyone else I've had nothing but problems with the 5.1x (analysis engine just stops running)
    I've tried upgrading using a brand new image, using both the 5.0(1) and 5.0(2) images. However, with both of those I get the following errors:
    Modify virtual sensor "vs0" configuration?[no]: yes
    Warning: The AnalysisEngine is initializing, virtual-sensor "vs0" can not be configured.
    and..
    sensor# conf t
    sensor(config)# serv analysis-engine
    sensor(config-ana)# virtual-sensor vs0
    sensor(config-ana-vir)# physical-interface fast

    fastEthernet0/1 fastEthernet1/1 fastEthernet1/3

    sensor(config-ana-vir)# ex
    sensor(config-ana)# ex
    Apply Changes:?[yes]:
    Error: editConfigDeltaAnalysisEngine : Analysis Engine is busy
    What's the deal with this? It sometimes takes several resets just to work. Sometimes I have to wait 10 minutes. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all. I can't even upgrade to 5.0(6) or anything because, you guessed it, my analysis engine is busy.
    Does it normally take that long for it to allow me to make changes? Anybody have any ideas?

    After a re-image there will always be a period of time when the Analysis Engine is busy.
    The Analysis Engine can take up to about 30 minutes on a low end sensor like the IDS-4215 to completely initialize itself.
    It takes all of the regular expression signatures and will compile the regular expressions together into what you can consider one giant regular expression. It was what we call a regular expression cache file.
    The creation of the regular expression cache file was speeded up as part of a bug fix in the 5.0(6) Service Pack.
    So what to do:
    After you do a re-image of the sensor just let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Then execute "iplog-status". If it tells you analaysisEngine is busy then keep waiting. It is tells you No Ip Logs are available then it is ready to go. (Any other command that queries the AnalysisEngine would work as well) This way you can also check the Analysis Engine status before going through and typing up all of the config changes.
    Resetting the sensor while the Analsysis Engine is busy just prolongs the initialization, the Analysis Engine will have to redo some of the intialization.
    My recommendation for versions right now is to load 5.0(1) or 5.0(2) base image. Wait for 20 to 30 minutes till Analysis Engine is responding, then load the 5.0(6) Service Pack. When you load the 5.0(6) Service Pack there will once again be a big jump in signatures so there will be another initialization period.
    Once that initialization is done, then load the latest Signature Update.
    As for version 5.1(1) there are some known issues that cause Analysis Engine to stop Running. Don't confuse these bugs with the standard initialization time for Analysis Engine. Analysis Engine veing busy is normal and expected after a re-image or upgrade, an Analysis Engine "Not Running" is a bug.
    If you are seeing "Not Running" for Analysis Engine when executing "show version" then please contact the TAC. There is a engineering patch for some of these issues, but it does requiring running special engineering builds that are in the process of going through testing.
    Cisco is working on these issues and will be releasing an official update as soon as the fixes have been fully tested at Cisco.
    Until those 5.1(1) issues are addressed, your options would be to contact the TAC and possibly obtain the special engineering build, or downgrade to the 5.0(6) version as mentioned above.

    Hi Manuel,
    Pre-7.0.8 versions have issues with the latest signature updates, so most likely you will face this issue after every signature upgrade. So I suggest you to upgrade at least to 7.0.8 or 7.1.7.

  • Is posible restart a engine over the network whith DSC?

    is posible restart a engine over the network whith DSC?

    You can stop/launch the DSC Engine from a remote application using the VI Server.
    A remote VI can launch the engine using the Launch Engine.VI or stop it using the Engine Shutdown.VI.
    They are located at
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\vi.lib\lvdsc\_engine\User\
    If you are going to use VI Server, just make sure that you enable the VI Server on the Computer that has the Engine.
    There is also an executable that launches the engine called DSCEngine.exe located at
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\
    that you could access remotely if you share the LabVIEW 6.1 directory. This executable can be used to launch the engine also.
    I would recommend using the VI Server, since sharing the LabVIEW directory might not be a good idea.

  • Missing App server in GRC Analysis Engine Daemon Manager

    Hi,
    We have two app servers for our GRC AC 5.3.The Analysis Engine Daemon Manager(http://<host>:5<nn>00/sap/CCADStatus.jsp) lists only one of the app servers .If I try the URL for the Daemon manager using the URL with app1 or app2 it lists only the background job workers and web services workers for the app1 only and not the app2.I checked the entry for table VIRSA_CC_CONFIG which has entry for the first app server ('107', 0,http://app1:5<nn>00/webdynpro/dispatcher/virsa/ccappcomp/BgJobStart', 'BgJobStart URL').Do I need to add the other URL for the other app server also.If yes how.If any one has faced this issue please help me.Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Max

    Since the Instance number (i.e. <nn> ) is a mandatory part of the URL so the URL for two app. server should be different. But first of all what is the necessity for keeping two different Instances (Java) for GRC AC? One is enough with proper hardware and system parameter sizing - right?
    Also, the Batch Jobs are not App server specific stuff.. so it is not correct to say that there are Jobs from only one App server and not from the other.

  • Analysis Engine Not running for IPS in AIPSSM Module

    Hi all,
      The Analysis Engine is not running for IPS module in AIPSSM Module. Please let me know how can i resolve this issue and get the analysis engine of IPS to running status.
    Regards
    Kiran

    Hi Kiran,
    Ideally, what you can do is to remove the configuration on the ASA that sends traffic to IPS.
    The crash in sensorapp or analysis engine might be traffic, configuration related.
    We can try to reboot the IPS with no load on it by stopping sending traffic to it.
    You can remove the IPS policy from the ASA configuration.
    http://tools.cisco.com/squish/2f7A3
    What this will do is stop ASA from sending any traffic to IPS.
    Now do the hw-module module 1 reset command.
    See if the IPS module comes back up.
    If that also fails, then you can re-image the module.
    This will however erase the configuration on the module.
    The re-image procedure for SSM module:

    Hi,
    Per my knowledge, SharePoint 2013 Search services should not be required to the SQL analysis service, however, you can try to install it in SQL Server 2012 with SP1.
    For this issue, you can try to just Ctrl+F5 and reset the index, also check if there is any URL not exist in the Start Addresses of the Local SharePoint Sites.

    http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/MS-SharePoint/Q_28095194.html
    And, you can recreate a new search service application in the Central Administration.
    If it not works, you can use the PowerShell to recreate the search service application as below.

    What’s more, to quickly and accurately find the issue, you can check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.

  • ASA-SSC-AIP-5 Analysis Engine Not Responding

    Every couple of days I have been noticing that the IPS is in bypass mode and the Analysis Engine Status is often shown as not responding or is still loading something, and naturally, the CPU is pegged at 100%... so I have been reloading the IPS when this happens.
    2 Questions:
    Any general pointers of what often causes this, or things that I should look for when this is happening?  I know I did not give enough details for specific answers, but I am just looking for general ideas to start with.
    More importantly, what syslog messages might show up in the logs when the IPS goes into Bypass mode?  I'd like to setup a notification for these syslog messages so that I can troubleshoot immediately and determine the cause.
    IPS Version 6.2(2)E4
    Signature Version 559.0
    Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.3(2)13
    Thanks.

    I would suggest that you upgrade the AIP-5 software to the latest version: 6.2.3(E4).
    Here is the release notes where a number of memory related bugs have been resolved:
    http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282549758/38029/IPS-6_2-3-E4_readme.txt
    You might also want to check if the AIP-5 module is overloaded with traffic, which can cause that issue.

  • Restarting j2ee engine

    I have done some maintenance work and got to restart j2ee engine. I have gone through the previous threads available on the forum and they says
    1) REBOOT : Right click the Dispacher Node or the Server node and choose the option 'reboot'
    But if I right click on node I am getting only 2 options. i.e start and stop. I am not getting the reboot option. So is it like that to restart the J2EE engine I can only stop and start the engine or else is there any other option. And one more thing is in MMC i am not able to see anything like j2ee engine. I am only able to see the process instance named "Dispatcher".
