Subject: RE: [ISSForum] Tivoli introduced into RS environment...overflowing console and dbIf you do not mind having Server Sensor simply ignore the event you can do so using the Trusted_User_List or local exceptions.Refer to the Server Sensor documentation or to the following whitepaper for complete instructions.thanks,John

Subject: [ISSForum] Tivoli introduced into RS environment...overflowing console and dbHello,
I've been running Real Secure Server Sensors on all our servers for a few
years. Yesterday, a separate tool, Tivoli, was turned up in the
environment. Tivoli requires a W2K server administrator account to run.
The Tivoli agent logs in 6 times locally every 2 minutes to kick off
programs. Each login triggers two alerts:1. User login with admin privileges
2. User logon with special admin privilegesThese two alerts pop up for every sensor * 6 * # of servers in each farm.
It fills 4 gigs of database space every hour and floods the console to the
point it's useless.
I can't disable the alerts because we are required to have them and store
them for a period of time for due diligence. I work for a large financial
institution and every admin login must be recorded and saved. Has anyone
ever used Tivoli in an environment that co-existed with Tivoli? I can't
find a single discussion on the net or in both product knowledge bases. I
do not use Tivoli to with the Real Secure Plug-in. The operate
independently of each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! I'm
at wit's end. I can't delete the excess rows in the db as fast as they are
coming in.Thanks!!!

Title: RE: [ISSForum] Tivoli introduced into RS environment...overflowing console and db
Calvin,
We
will soon be implementing Tivoli on our servers with Server Sensor and will have
the same issue.
John, I looked at your 79 page white paper on
creating custom RealSecure events and responses but didn't find any help.
Amy's response to call the Tivoli developers and ask them to rewrite their code
seemed like an unacceptable response. I know that you can create the
"exclusionary" filters with the Network Sensor but can't find a way to create
similar with the Server Sensor. Our customers will also be rerquired to
look at all logons with admin privelages. Doing the math, based on
Calvin's discovery, the number of events per 24 hours is 288 per day per
server. On a Workgroup Manager only watching 100 servers, that is 28800
unnecessary events reporting to the console and the database. We will
literally have over 1000 servers with Tivoli and Server
Sensor.
Is
there a way that ISS can tweak their software to be able to create exclusionary
filtering for sprecific traffic from specific IPs rather that an all-or-none
scenario?
Charles, I have included you as I do not have Jo
Jordan's email address. Please forward to her.
Thanks.
