IDSM, Event Viewer > locality=OUT , can I change it?

[a.gesse]

Hello,

in ISDM event viewer I see both internal (private) and external (global) addresses have
"locality"=OUT.
Does anybody know if it makes sense to change it and how, I can't find where?

  participants:  
    attacker:  
      addr: 10.7.51.233  locality=OUT 
      port: 52593 
    target:  
      addr: 204.192.12.14  locality=OUT 
      port: 80 
      os:   idSource=learned  type=linux  relevance=relevant 
  actions:  
    denyPacketRequestedNotPerformed: true

Thank you
Alexander

Alexander;

You can define Event Variables for specific IP address(es) and/or  IP address ranges and, as a result, these variable names will appear in  event Alerts as the "locality"  of applicable hosts (in place of the default "OUT").  So, for example, you may define an Event Variable, LAN for your primary  network (192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255), another Event Variable, DMZ (192.168.2.0-192.168.3.255) for a semi-protected segment located offyour  firewall, and a final Event Variable, WEB_SERVERS (1.1.1.0-1.1.1.31) for you publicly-accessible web servers.  These variable names will then be displayed in the event details.
