Configuring user-defined event options

You can configure user-defined events to specify the type and part of a network packet that the Network IPS appliance scans for events. Write user-defined events using specific contexts for use globally with the global protection domain, or locally with the custom protection domains.

About this task

  • Assign unique names to user-defined events, so it is obvious which event was triggered.
  • When assigning user-defined events to the same protection domain, type a different Context and a different Search String. If you do not, the appliance reports multiple events for the same traffic.
  • If you have a user-defined event that you want to use in more than one protection domain, Copy and Paste it to the applicable protection domain. Do not change the Name, Context, or Search String; however, you can change the other options. If you change the Name, Context, or Search String, the appliance processes the event as a different event.
