AIP-SSM not firing any sigs - Analysis Engine is Busy

raga.fusionet

Level 4

Hello guys,

I have installed an AIP-SSM module on my ASA's lab and I cant get it to fire any signatures. I do see traffic going thru the interfaces which makes me think it's not an issue with the ASA Config, however I dont see any sigs even if I generate events that would fire one such a TCP port scan or bitorrent.

I have assigned an interface to the vs0 and configured the basic stuff but still I'm not getting any hits. One thing I noticed is this unsual message on the logs:

vError: eventId=1341365101856715019  vendor=Cisco  severity=error 

  originator:  

    hostId: sensor 

    appName: collaborationApp 

    appInstanceId: 452 

  time: Jul 04, 2012 20:21:32 UTC  offset=0  timeZone=UTC 

  errorMessage: Analysis Engine is Busy Processing Stage 3 of 97 at Step 0 of 1

Messages, like this one, in the category - ct to sensorApp timed out - were logged 1 times in the last 0 seconds.  name=errUnclassified 

Here's the IDS config and a show int:

Either this is a little weird or I'm looking at the wrong place. If I do a show statistics virtual-sensor I seem to be getting some hits on different sigs:

Per-Signature SigEvent count since reset

            Sig 6403.1 = 6

            Sig 6409.1 = 17

            Sig 6409.2 = 2

            Sig 20059.1 = 1453

            Sig 21619.1 = 2

            Sig 23782.2 = 2

            Sig 30260.1 = 3

However If I go to the IDM, Monitoring, Events, Event Viewer all I see is health messages from the sensor itself, not signatures.

Any ideas? Thanks.

You may edit the above firing signatures. Add Event Action to "produce-alert.

Raga,

Hope you are doing great. Have you tried with the very basic ones? 2000 and 2004 for ICMP traffic? Enable them and put the action to produce alert.

Then go to Monitoring and set an IP logging. Use the IP addresses that you are trying to ping to make a packet capture (ip logging ), start it, send the ping and then stop the IP logging, after that the IP logging either will dissapear (meaning the packets are not getting to the virtual sensor) or appear but the action is not taken. 

On the home page you can also see the state of the analysis engine, it normall stucks in compiling signatures, but analysis engine should be back.

We can take it from there.
