Monitoring and reporting IDS/IPS logs
Importance of IDS/IPS monitoring
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are among the most sophisticated network security devices in use today. They inspect network packets and block suspicious ones, as well as alert administrators about attack attempts. These systems' logs contain valuable network threat information about attack types, devices being targeted, and more.
With ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer, you can monitor IDS and IPS logs and extract the information they provide to secure your network further. It makes network device monitoring simple by automatically collecting IDS/IPS logs and storing them in a central location. Predefined reports cover various aspects of your network and help you gain perspective on your network's overall security standing. Instant alerts ensure you're the first to know when something suspicious is detected. For instance, malicious traffic alerts let you know when intruders try to access your network.
EventLog Analyzer also allows you to search the collected logs using several powerful search options and securely stores logs for as long as you need them.
Supported IDS/IPS vendors
EventLog Analyzer provides out-of-the-box support for multiple IDS/IPS vendors:
Network security monitoring with EventLog Analyzer's IDS/IPS reports
EventLog Analyzer generates IDS/IPS security reports that provide information on:
The most targeted devices on your network.
Attacks occurring on your network, with information on the most frequent attacks and the source of these attacks.
Attack trends.
These reports help you understand what types of attacks your network is susceptible to, which network devices need to be secured further, how to decide which malicious traffic sources to target, and more.
Attacks classified based on source/destination addresses
Prevent network intrusions by analyzing attacks occurring on your network classified on the basis of source and destination addresses.
Frequently targeted devices on your network
Monitor and protect devices on your network that were targeted by attackers on a regular basis.
Attacks classified on the basis of severity
Analyze attacks in your IDS/IPS devices by categorizing them on the basis of their status: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, or Debug.
Attack trends
The Attacks Trend report gives you a timeline of various attacks that occurred over a given period of time.

Frequently asked questions
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are network components that monitor traffic in your organization network to detect and prevent malicious activities and policy violations.
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are considered to be monitoring systems. They are responsible for monitoring and analyzing the network traffic for malicious threats. When any suspicious activity is detected, they trigger an alert to notify the security team so that the threat can be mitigated immediately. Intrusion detection systems can be deployed in two different ways: host-based intrusion detection systems and network-based intrusion detection systems.
Intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are proactive in nature and are often referred to as control systems. They monitor network traffic and when any abnormal activity is detected, they alert the security administrators and remediate the threat through automated actions such as blocking that particular malicious source or modifying the firewall to stop similar attacks in the future.
Hackers are constantly preying on your organization's network to exploit the vulnerabilities in your web server. Because web servers acts as a threshold to the Internet, they are prone to web server vulnerabilities like a DDOS attack, SQL injection, XSS (cross-site scripting), and more. To secure your web server from intruders, periodically monitor the server's health to spot issues in the web server's disk capacity, CPU load, memory usage, latency, failure, and accuracy.
