Email Alerting and Console (DNS)

[corpitsol]

Hello,

Is it possible to configure the IDS modules to resolve IP's and/or include the hostname in Alert emails? I have the proper DNS information plugged in and verified that manually it will resolve via the IPS.

Thanks,

Matthew

Hello Matthew,

The DNS resolution would be better done by your reporting tool. What tool do you use to send you the alert emails?

The generic email notifications inside of the IPS manager.

Hello Matthew,

We currently support DNS resolution in the Reporting functionality of IME, but not the individual email alerts. This is a good feature request. I have filed CSCth68331 to address this. It will take some time for the request to show up, but will eventually be viewable via the CCO Bug Toolkit: http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/action.do?hdnAction=searchBugs
