General Event Settings Section
The Add New Event window (for specifying generic events) contains the following fields in the
General Event settings section:
Field
Description
Event Name
Lets you specify a name for the event. Each event must have a unique name.
Note: Event names must not contain the following characters:<>& ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]
Event Protocol
Lets you select which protocol NetDVMS should listen for in order to detect the
event:
•
Any: Listen for, and analyze, packages using TCP as well as UDP protocol
•
TCP: Listen for, and analyze, packages using TCP protocol only.
•
UDP: Listen for, and analyze, packages using UDP protocol only.
Which port is used?NetDVMS listens for generic events on the port specified as
Alert Port in the
Advanced window
(default is port 1234).
Event rule type
Lets you select how particular NetDVMS should be when analyzing received data
packages:
•
Match: In order for the event to occur, the received package must contain
exactly the message specified in the Event rule string section's Event
message include field, and nothing else.
•
Search: In order for the event to occur, the received package must contain
the message specified in the Event rule string section's Event message
include field, but may also have more content.
Example: If you have specified that the received package should contain
the terms ”User001” and ”Door053”, the event will be triggered if the
received package contains the terms ”User001” and ”Door053” and
”Sunday” as your required terms are contained in the received package.
Event priority
The same data package may be analyzed for different events. The ability to assign
a priority to each event lets you manage which event should be triggered if a
received package matches the criteria for several events. The priority must be
specified as a number between 0 (lowest priority) and 1000 (highest priority).
When NetDVMS receives a TCP and/or UDP package, analysis of the packet will
start with analysis for the event with the highest priority. This way, when a
package matches the criteria for several events, only the event with the highest
priority will be triggered.
In case a package matches the criteria for several events with an identical priority,
e.g. two events with a priority of 999, all events with the priority in question will be
triggered.
