Has anyone any tips or tricks they would care to share on creating User
Defined OS event signatures for monitoring for certain regular
expressions in syslog and web server logs .

I have tried all reasonable things, read all the PDFs I can get my
hands on and still the events dont trigger.

Can anybody see anything obviously wrong?

For example I have in my policy:


[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog Rules\Connection_Reset\];
Enabled =B      1;
Priority        =L      1;
Regular Expression      =S      Error 232 (Connection reset by peer)
reading data from host;
Logs    =S      Syslog;
CheckDescription        =S      reset a socket connection, possibly
related to an invalid access attempt;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\];
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\LOGDB\];
Enabled =B      1;
Choice  =S      LogWithoutRaw;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\BANNER\];
Enabled =B      0;
Choice  =S      ;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\DISABLE\];
Enabled =B      0;
Choice  =S      ;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\SUSPEND\];
Enabled =B      0;
Choice  =S      ;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\RSKILL\];
Enabled =B      0;
Choice  =S      ;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\BLOCK\];
Enabled =B      0;
Choice  =S      ;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\DISPLAY\];
Enabled =B      1;
Choice  =S      Default;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\EMAIL\];
Enabled =B      1;
Choice  =S      ;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\SNMP\];
Enabled =B      1;
Choice  =S      Default;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\USER SPECIFIED\];
Enabled =B      1;
Choice  =S      Syslog;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog
Rules\Connection_Reset\Response\SECURELOGIC\];
Enabled =B      1;
Choice  =S      ;
[\Advanced\userdefinedsignatures\SysLog Rules\Connection_Reset\Info\];
Data causing error:     =S      from host {!} Socket error;
ETDirect Error1 =S      @Field4;
ETDirect Error2 =S      @Field5;
Source IP:      =S      Socket error from {!};


and

[\Advanced\Logs\Syslog\];
Path    =S      /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log;
