Many different types of events in 4.x

[msmitha]

There are many types of events in CSIDS 4.x like:

Debug Events

Status Events

Log Transaction Events

Shun Request Events

Error Events --> Warning / Error / Fatal

Alert Events --> Info / Low / Medium / High

Can someone explain these different types of events, please? Thanks

This sort of describes them:

Log Transaction events are gen'd each time some app (quite often IDM) does something on the sensor itself.

Error events are for errors on the sensor itself. Shun requests are obviously when a hun is requested to a device. Alert events are the high, medium, low and info alerts generated by the signatures.
