E-mail alerting CSM 4.1 and IPS 4240

[itsadmins]

Hello,

I have recently migrated from CSM 3.3 to CSM 4.1 on a new server. I have everything configured and working correctly, but the thing that I am missing is how to configure E-mail alerts based on attack severity. I had this configured on the old CSM 3.3 server, but it appears that this is not available under CSM 4.1??I have read through the documentation and compared my old configuration with the new and it is not obvious to me how to get this functionality back on 4.1.

CSM 4.1 that I have is the standard version, if that matters.

Any tips or assistance on this will be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Unfortunately, CSM 4.x does not have the capability to send e-mail notifications for IPS alerts.  An enhancement request has been filed for this feature, you can view the request here:

The workaround would be to set up Cisco IPS Manager Express and use the e-mail notification feature within IME.

IME is available for download here:

Hope this helps.

That is what I figured. I have looked at going the IME route, but wanted to make sure I wasn't loosing my mind!

Thanks for the response!
