Sensor(config)# service signature-definition sig0 Step 2 Enter signature definition IP log configuration submode. Step 1 Log in to the CLI using an account with administrator or operator privileges. To configure automatic IP logging parameters, follow these steps: The following actions trigger automatic IP logging: Note An automatic IP log continues capturing packets until one of these parameters is reached.Īutomatic IP logging is configured on a per signature basis or as an event action override.
If multiple alerts create IP logs for the same IP address, only one IP log is created for all the alerts. Note Each alert references IP logs that are created because of that alert. You can copy the IP logs from the sensor and have them analyzed by a tool that can read packet files in a libpcap format, such as Wireshark or TCPDUMP. IP logs are stored in a circular buffer that is never filled because new IP logs overwrite old ones. The no iplog command does not delete IP logs, it only stops more packets from being recorded for that IP log. Note You cannot delete or manage IP log files. You can specify how long you want the sensor to log IP traffic and how many packets and bytes you want logged.Ĭaution Enabling IP logging slows down system performance. You can also have the sensor log IP packets every time a particular signature is fired. The sensor stops logging IP traffic at the first parameter you specify. You can specify how long you want the IP traffic to be logged, how many packets you want logged, and how many bytes you want logged. You can manually configure the sensor to capture all IP traffic associated with a host you specify by IP address. Copying IP Log Files to Be Viewed Understanding IP Logging.
