What do you use to monitoring the IDs and Alerts?

I have installed a 4250 and built out some custom signatures got the email working from VMS 2.2 for some of high priority alerts. This all great but I was wondering what other people use to monitor the alerts and how they get notifications. I see what I have as being very limited in scope and there are a number of parts in VMS that just do not work.
Do you use other console products? I have seen a couple of applications advertised that say they aggregate alerts from the pix, ids and mcaffee. Just wondering if or what others use. I only have one ids but I do have other items pix, mcaffee.

I wish I could but I can't offer up anything that won't come at a cost.
The original poster in this thread alluded to solutions capable of looking at disperate data in one console. That’s a Security Information Management System (SIMS), pure and simple. Cisco sells one, as do many other vendors. The unfortunate thing is that there is no inexpensive SIMS solution out there that offers multi-product monitoring. They all come at a significant price point.
Since you both have a single sensor, I agree that VMS Basic is more than you need. The hiccups with it far outweigh the benefits. IEV might be "uncomfortable" to use but it works. In my experience (in a single-sensor monitoring environment), using IEV for monitoring and IDM for configuration management is the easiest, if not the most eloquent, solution.
If you want fancy visualization or reporting, you're going to have to be willing to plunk down some cash to buy it. With a single IDS sensor, it's just not economically viable IMHO.
I hope this helps,

  • What do you use as monitors?

    What I'm really asking is what kind of speakers do you use?
    Whats your set-up?
    What would you recommend?

    JBL LSR4328, Mackie HR824, Altec Lansing "POS"
    Love the JBL's for my room. More Accurate than 824s and the image is awesome, but good to A/B compare mixes with both. The AL's are just some crappy 10 year old computer speakers, but again for comparitive mixing (they kind of sound like an average bad car stereo system). A/B/C switching with Mackie Big Knob...it's got a bit knob on it. That's cool...= )

  • What do you use to clean your MBP, and how do you do it?

    Is iKlear the clear (heh) favorite? Is there any other more generic stuff I can use that'd be cheaper (or that I could depend on should the product no become longer available)?
    How often do you clean? And how thoroughly (i.e. is there anyone out there who cleans under the keys or in any crevices like that to get out dust and stuff, assuming it's possible to do that at all)?
    And how do you do it in a way that doesn't let moisture in when you clean the keyboard and related areas? Everyone says "if it's not dripping, it won't do anything," but it seems evident to me that it's highly possible to have a cloth that's not dripping, yet still be damp enough to allow moisture to get in where it doesn't belong. There are threads here about people who've damaged their MBP in just that way. How do you make sure that doesn't happen?
    Feel free to answer with what you think is best in general or with how you personally do it... or both!
    Thanks!

    Everyone says "if it's not dripping, it won't do anything,"
    Who says that? It's totally wrong and extremely dangerous to your MBP.
    No third party products are necessary. Tap water (or distilled water, if you have access to it) will suffice just fine.
    I use the black cloth that came with the computer to clean it. I turn on a tap such that it is just on more than a steady drip, then moisten a corner of that cloth. Wring out the excess moisture until it is only damp. There must NOT be any drips whatsoever, so wring it out thoroughly. Shut down the computer, and use the moistened corner to wipe down the areas of aluminum that are not close to the ports or speaker grilles. You may have to moisten the cloth multiple times to cover the whole machine. Mine often dries in the process of wiping down the case. It must be that dry, that it will dry out in 3 minutes.
    There is no reason to take a chance with getting any water into the computer at all. Take half an hour to do a thorough job with a very lightly damp cloth (may have to remoisten it once or twice) every couple weeks, instead of paying $1000 for a logic board replacement if any water gets in.

  • What do you use to manage your clients and push software?

    Going around from machine to machine is getting tiring. We have been evaluating different software distribution applications and have yet to find one that has done the job well. What product(s) do you use to manage your clients as far as drivers, applications,
    settings, configs, etc? All of our machines are running windows 7 (possibly Windows 8 by the end of next year).
    The one's I've tried are: Dell Kace and ManageEngine Desktop Central 8. 
    Thanks,

  • Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

    Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

        That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
    If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

  • Who do the majority of you use to monitor your 3 credit scores? I am talking about a real FICO score

    I am so confused about all of the monitoring services out there, I feel like all of it is a scam. Experian uses a different score than anyone else, Equifax and Transunion use a different scoring system. i was going to go with MYfico howvever online reviews of this company being hard to cancel , locking you into a nonrefundale contract etc; I have no idea who is a legit monitoring service or not. I actually called MyFico and the rep said there were never any specials and that the price is a solid $29.99 per month on a CC. Who do you guys use to monitor your credit and why? Thanks

    I'm currently using myFICO and creditchecktotal, but will probably be dropping my subscription to myFICO and just buying reports here periodically. MyFico has the advantage of providing a wide range of different scores(the specialty ones for mortgage, auto, etc...) *when you pull a full report*(they're not updated when changes are detected) as well as just your general FICO 8 score(which is updated when changes are detected). Also their monitoring/alerts covers all 3 bureaus where CCT's monitoring/alerts only covers Experian(although you can pull the other two a few times a month at no extra cost, it just isn't going to check them automatically and send alerts for them). CCT has the advantage of a cleaner interface and cleaner report printouts(IMO they're cleaner and look much nicer, but I'm sure someone out there might prefer myFico's). They're also half the cost if you use the previous mentioned suggestion of signing up for the trial and then use the automated system to cancel and take them up on the offer it will give you.

  • Stress test Sharepoint 2013 portal. How and what do You use?

    Hi!
    I'm using example from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj710162.aspx
    It creates record in SP task list. I can loop it to create several records. But how can I simulate
    several users?
    Or what in common sense do You use to stress test sharepoint? Any links or better there is a book?

    >>You can use Visual Studio to create performance and stress testing projects.
    Yes I know that I can use VS, it's in the link of my first post.
    >>Check out my articles at:
    Margriet, thank You very much! I see that You analyzed more than a hundred of tools and dived very deep into this question! Thank You for
    the tool, it works for me!
    1) But what You use to monitor server behavior, do You use Resource monitor? By example I can see some network and cpu activity during test, but how can I analyze this data..
    or I'd use some video-capture tools(like 'camtasia studio'), record this system monitor and then analyze?
    2) I understand correctly, that this tool covers "WFE test", mostly IIS, like pages generation; SQL database should be tested by other methods.

  • What are you using as a Flash replacement for 64-bit machines?

    Hi,
    I was reading about the vulnerabilities in Adobe's Flash and decided to remove the offending package. I opened Chromium to make sure my Flash still worked, as I understood that Chromium implemented another method for rendering Flash stuff. I was wrong. For example, YouTube tells me that I need Flash 10 or higher. I tried to re-install the flashplugin package, but it is no longer in the repos.
    I can live without Flash content, but it's nice to have.
    So the question is, what are you using instead, that can be installed from the main repos?
    Many thanks,
    Chris.

    I have installed both lightspark 0.4.3 and gnash 0.8.8, since lightspark should be able to 'fall back to gnash for older videos' (see changelog of lightspark).
    I have tried some flash-websites in firefox and all of them seem to use gnash and there was 1 website that didn't load the content (www.deredactie.be - our national tvstation). So, I'm under the impression that lightspark is not used by firefox.
    Has anyone found out how to do this?
    Secondly, gnash should be able to use VA-API (hardware acceleration). Is it just a question to install libva and let gnash do the rest, or does one have to recompile gnash to build the support in?
    Zl.
    PS: to whoever thinks flashplugin is the 'real flash': gnash has beaten it in terms of providing hardware acceleration. hooray for opensource!

  • What do you use to edit templates?

    I am new to HTML DB and I was wondering what you use to edit the templates to make the site look as you wish. I find the textboxes in HTML DB very annoying, especially since the page can scroll but the boxes too.
    And there doesn't seem to be an easy way to preview what you made, so I was wondering if you use different tools to create and edit the templates.

    Hello,
    Any texteditor can be used to edit HTML DB templates. Editors I know people are using range fro vi to Dreamweaver. If your a little lite on HTML or CSS knowledge a visual editor like Dreamweaver would probably give you a good start. You can play with your look and feel with static pages then cut up the resulting code to make your templates.
    I personally use htmlkit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ . It's not a visual editor but it's free and it has a bunch of features for coding html , css and js and even plsql.
    as for your scrolling issue try adding this into the textarea's "HTML Form Element Attributes"
    style="overflow:hidden;overflow-x : hidden;overflow-y : hidden;overflow : -moz-scrollbars-none;" wrap="soft"
    That suppress the scrollbars in some cases (works much better in IE than Firefox) but a textarea will inherently put scrollbars in when you add more text in than it can hold horizontally or vertically.

  • What do you use to write Java programs?

    Hi. Do you mind if I ask you what do you use to write your programs in Java? I am a student and we are using NetBeans IDE 3.6. I know it is a bit old but the tutor says we must stick to that one. What is best for writing Java programs?
    Thanks.

    Do you think those things will make things easier or is it more complex?If you're learning on your own, you'd better use something more up to date (most probably better interface, childhood bugs fixed, and better support on the Internet).
    If you're in a classroom, or a training room, you'd better use what the instructor tells, or at least what other students/trainees use. Easier to get help and share tips if everyone has the same setup.
    Good luck learning Java.
