Configuring event notifications

To configure event notifications using the CLI:
  1. Enable the CLI configuration mode.

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Check which notification methods and event types are already enabled for notifications:

    hostname (config) # show fenotify alerts
    
    FireEye Notification Enabled: yes
    
    FireEye Alerts:
                              email  http    rsyslog snmp    
                              --------------------------------
                      Global  yes    no      yes     no      
                              ----   ----    ----    ----    
    domain-match        yes  |yes    yes     yes     yes     
    infection-match     yes  |yes    yes     yes     yes     
    ips-event           yes  |no     no      yes     no      
    lnec-alert          no   |no     no      yes     no      
    malware-callback    yes  |yes    yes     yes     yes     
    malware-object      yes  |yes    yes     yes     yes     
    riskware-callback   yes  |no     yes     yes     yes     
    riskware-object     no   |no     yes     yes     yes     
    web-infection       yes  |no     yes     yes     yes     
    
        Digest notification:
                     Time    : 12:00
                     Enabled : yes
    					
  3. Enable notifications using the fenotify enable command. By default, notifications are enabled. This command only enables notifications for enabled protocols.

    hostname (config) # fenotify enable
  4. Enable or disable the desired notification methods:

    hostname (config) # fenotify <notification method> enable

    or

    hostname (config) # no fenotify <notification method> enable

    For example, to enable SMTP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify smtp enable
  5. Enable or disable the desired event types globally:

    hostname (config) # fenotify alerts <alert type> enable

    or

    hostname (config) # no fenotify alerts <alert type> enable

    For example, to enable the event type lnec-alert globally:

    hostname (config) # fenotify alert lnec-alert enable
  6. Map the desired event types to specific notification methods:

    hostname (config) # fenotify <notification method> alert <event type> enable

    or

    hostname (config) # no fenotify <notification method> alert <event type> enable

    For example, to enable the lnec-alert event type to use the rsyslog notification method:

    hostname (config) # fenotify rsyslog alert lnec-alert enable
  7. Send a test message to all enabled recipients:

    hostname (config) # fenotify <notification method> send-test

    For example, to send a test notification using email:

    hostname (config) # fenotify email send-test

    Note

    • Before you can test notifications, you need to add one or more recipients. To add an email recipient, see Adding email (SMTP) recipients using the CLI.

    • Test messages generated for event notifications appear on the Alerts tab for five minutes.

  8. Save the configuration:

    hostname (config) # write memory
