Configuring event notifications

Use the CLI commands in this topic to configure event notifications.

To configure event notifications using the CLI:
hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode.

  2. Check which protocols are already enabled:

    hostname (config) # show fenotify email hostname (config) # show fenotify http hostname (config) # show fenotify rsyslog hostname (config) # show fenotify snmp

  3. Configure the protocols that you want to use:

  4. Confirm that the protocols are configured correctly:

    hostname (config) # show fenotify email

    hostname (config) # show fenotify http

    hostname (config) # show fenotify rsyslog

    hostname (config) # show fenotify snmp

  5. Confirm that the protocols are configured correctly:

    hostname (config) # show fenotify email

    hostname (config) # show fenotify http

  6. Enable the notifications. By default, notifications are enabled. This command only affects notifications for enabled protocols. If a protocol has been disabled, you must enable the protocol before enabling notifications.

    hostname (config) # fenotify enable

  7. Select the event type:

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert domain-match

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert infection-match

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert ips-event

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert malware-callback

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert malware-object

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert web-infection

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert riskware-infectionmatch

  8. Send a test email message to all enabled recipients:

    hostname (config) # fenotify email send-test

    Note

    Test-fire events generated for event notifications disappear from the Alerts tab within five minutes.

  9. Save the configuration:

    hostname (config) # write memory
