Unable to retrieve IPS events via SDEE

tech_trac
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I have added Cisco ASA with AIP-SSM in MARS and the SDEE is enabled by default on AIP-SSM. Yet I am not able to see any events during MARS query.

I had similarly added the IDSM module and I can see the events coming thru to MARS.

What could be wrong with AIP-SSM setup etc.

Very limited information is available on this part. Please assist.

Have you checked on the AIP-SSM itself, whether any events are coming?

Once you added the device in MARS, did it give you any error? You can rediscover/update the device in MARS to see.

Thanks Farrukh.

When I do 'show events past 00:01:00' on AIP-SSM CLI, I can see the events.

While adding the device in MARS, all the connectivity/discovery tests were successful.

What more could I do to check why events are not pushed through to MARS ? I have added the Cisco ASA and then IPS as its module.

You should run a query for unknown device events, perhaps the IPS is using another IP address to send the events.

Or you can select the IPS device, and run a query for 'Raw Events' for that device.

Farrukh,

What I have noticed is that AIP-SSM is only generating Error and Status Events but not Alert Events.

And MARS pulls Alert Events only.

Could you please let me know how can I generate signature triggers/alerts on AIP-SSM. I have opened all traffic going thru the ASA to be sent to AIP-SSM (policy-map). I have tried ICMP Echo sigs but they aren't triggering i.e. when I check thru 'show events alert past 01:00:00'.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Ok. I am continuosuly getting Inline Data ByPass has stopped. Please see below

Also, when I do 'show statistics analysis-engine', the inspection Stats is completely blank.

Also, 'show statistics virtual-sensor' shows all zero values against all signature based events. Believe IPS is not running. How can I check that all the IPS processes are working as expected.

Few of these messages are normal, could it be possible you are sending more traffic to the module then it can handle?

In any case,triggering the ECHO or ECHO REPLY signatures is usually straight forward, did you enable the signatures (they are disabled by default)?

Try rebooting the module once. Also do a 'show version' to see if the analysis engine is running.

I usually login to the box using the service account and run the 'top' command.

Farrukh
