Configuring SNMP and Syslog Settings

Configuring an SNMP Agent (NSM Procedure)

Use Global Settings to specify syslog and SNMP servers. In device templates, find these
settings under IDP Device Settings. In an individual device, find these settings under
Global Settings.
This chapter includes the following topics:
Configuring an SNMP Agent (NSM Procedure) on page 79
Configuring Syslog Collection (NSM Procedure) on page 80
The IDP sensor creates and sends a log entry whenever one of the following statistics
reaches 90%. It also sends a log when the value drops below 90%. Logs are sent no
more than once a minute. The log entry specifies the value of the setting at the time the
log is sent.
CPU Usage—Log entry generated when CPU usage reaches 90%.
Hard Disk Usage—Log entry generated when disk space reaches 90%.
Memory Usage—Log entry generated when memory usage reaches 90%.
Session Count—Log entry generated when session count reaches 90% of the total
possible session count. (Maximum total session count for each device is specified on
that device's product sheet.)
These logs are generated and sent to NSM automatically. However, you can also set the
sensor to send the entries to your SNMP server. To do so, enable SNMP and specify the
server's community and IP address, and then load the new configuration onto the sensor.
You configure an SNMP agent if you want to send device event logs to an SNMP server.
You have the option of configuring an SNMP agent for NSM (if you want to send the NSM
collection to SNMP) or configuring an SNMP agent for each IDP device.
To configure an SNMP agent for NSM, see the NSM online Help.
