Monitoring Cisco IDS/IPS SSM Modules

[Joseph Hardeman]

Hi Eero,

I had to go to the archives on SourceForge to see your reply.  I am not
getting emails from the list.

No, unfortunitely that won't work.  I am looking for a plugin that will
query the SSM IPS module for any security breach attempts or that will
monitor a log file from syslog-ng capturing the SSM syslog data and will
then send either an SNMP trap or trigger a passive alert.

I found where people talk about monitoring their Cisco devices that have
SSM IPS modules, but no examples so far.

Thanks for thinking of that app. :-)

Joe
