IDS/IPS Activity Reports

To search for and generate a report on all attack activities from IDS/IPS systems, use the IDS/IPS Activity Real-Time Report.

For this report, you can select to view various options in the generated report for your Appliance. Optional filter operators can be sorted in Ascending or Descending order. Choose sort order using the drop-down menu. The default is to display only Log Source IP, Source IP, Destination IP, Destination Port, Signature, and Count.
