Automated Security Manager Activity Monitor
In addition to the Menu Bar and Toolbar, the Automated Security Manager Activity Monitor window consists
of three major functional areas. The top section provides facilities to control ASM's operational mode to
enable or disable responses to network security threats and select and view statistics. The center section
provides a log of Automated Security Manager activities. The bottom section contains an Events View where
you can view alarm, event, and trap information for ASM, NetSight Console, network devices, and other
NetSight applications.
A record of activities is maintained in date−stamped files in the <install area>
\NetSight Console\logs
directory. A new file is opened each day. The information in these files wraps (overwrites the oldest
information) when the file reaches its maximum size (1 Mb) and there is no automatic housekeeping to
remove older files from this directory.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to manually remove actions applied to devices from NetSight
Automated Security Manager. Use the Undo Action button in ASM's Activity
Monitor window to undo a threat response. Attempting to manually remove actions
can leave devices in an unspecified condition, possibly compromising the security
of your network.
