Information management
After you have installed Host Intrusion Prevention, you can track and report on security issues
that arise in your environment. Use the dashboards for a daily view of the security situation or
to run queries for detailed information on particular issues.
Host IPS dashboards
Dashboards are a collection of monitors that are an essential tool for managing your environment.
Monitors can be anything from a chart-based query to a small web-application, like the MyAvert
Threat Service. You can create and edit multiple dashboards if you have the permissions. Use
any chart-based query as a dashboard that refreshes at a specified frequency, so you can put
your most useful queries on a live dashboard.
Host Intrusion Prevention provides two default dashboards with these monitors:
